   There is one thing that strikes me here in relation to IPv6.  The WAN may be   
   someday soon obligated to run v6 more heavily than now, but if your system is   
   behind a v6 router, the NAT in the router most probably will be able to run   
   the LAN side of things in traditional v4 format.     
      
   As far as FidoNet is concerned, even with v6 in place, if the domain has a   
   registered domain name (even a dynamic one like dyndns.org), v6 should make no   
   difference to programs like IRex, where all you have to do is point a BinkP   
   connection to a domain name rather than a full v6 address.  Let the ISP's DNS   
   resolver take care of the rest... or so it would seem to me.    
      
   Main thing is for ones system to be behind a NAT equipped router/modem.   
      
   Best regards,
