   Hello Andrew,

   I can't just send it back because when they send you a new modem they   
   deactivate the old modem after the new modem has been registered and became   
   on-line. I have to make some arrangements to get the old modem reinstalled...   
      
   A tunnel is not an option either because the modem/routers provided by the ISP   
   do not have the option to run tunnels. There is an option to have teir   
   modem/router set in bridge mode and run your own router. But I do not have a   
   suitable router at hand. And if I had one, I would not need a tunnel, I could   
   run native IPv6.   
      
   Since a couple of month there is also the option of having one's own cable   
   modem. But at the moment I am not all that eager to invest in either a modem   
   or a router of my own as there is a company installing FTTH here, so I may   
   part with the cable company in the not too distant future...   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
