   But no IPv6. :(

   With modems there was no choice to suport multiple protocols like FTS-1, FTS-6   
   and EMSI over the same connection. With modem over POTS, the physical layer   
   only supports ONE connection at the time. With IP this is different. The   
   physical channel supports many connections at the same time. So while it may   
   be theoretically possible to make software that supports more than one   
   protocol on the same port, and I won't even rule out that some sofwtare   
   actually does, I see no added value to such a complication. There is no   
   shortage of ports, so why the complication of sharing ports? It makes it more   
   difficult for others to connect.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
