    MV> So how are you doing with IPv6? I see that your ISP is Windstream   
    MV> (AS7029). Rumour has it that they offer native IPv6 to at least some   
    MV> of their customers. Do they offer IPv6 at your location?   
      
   i have IPv6 here but it is only to the ISP modem which is in transparent bridge   
    mode... IPv6 stops there...   
      
    MV> Is your LAN IPv6 ready?   
      
   the LAN (wiring and switches) can handle it, sure... but all systems internal   
   to the LANs (there are three of them here with a fourth one in the works) have   
   IPv6 explicitly turned OFF... we are not fans of allowing unmonitored protocol   
   free range on our networks...   
      
    MV> When can we welcome you in the Fidonet IPv6 club?   
      
   never unless my firewall package adds IPv6 support PLUS the various add-ons we   
   need are also ported to the updated firewall package... we won't mention that   
   the mods needed to add the 4th network must also be able to be easily applied   
   to the updated firewall package, too...

   good things come to those who wait...
