   Hello Richard,

    RM> Interesting.   
      
   I wrote a FidoNews article about it in Feb 2012.

    RM> How did you get it?   
      
   I just asked for it. Many, many years ago: https://samknows.com/   
   This is my second one. The first box had 100 Mbps ports. I asked for an   
   upgrade when they started issuing boxes with 1000 Mbps ports.   
      
    RM> Have you paid for it??   
      
   No.   
      
    RM> Indeed it is pingable:

   Thanks for testing.   
      
   Later:   
      
   I just received an e-mail from them in response to my question if they   
   actually do something with IPv6. This is the answer:

   Hi Michiel,   
      
   Thanks for getting in touch.   
      
   As of yet, we have not adopted ipv6 tests. We report the ipv6 address if the   
   Whitebox receives it, but we don't really do anything with it.   
      
   Kind regards,   
      
   Ati

   Cheers, Michiel
