This computer is running Windows 8.1 which supports IPv6.

One of the ipconfig /all responses is:

Link-Local IPv6 Address.....: fe80::6c16:b841:218:8844%4(Preferred)

My DSL modem/route is an ASUS DSl-N55U which, going by the (GUI) interface, supports IPv6 (native and tunnel).

My ISP seems to be more interested in iPhone 6 than IPv6 (I cannot find anything about timing/availability).

Anyway, my Fidonet node isn't running on this machine/internet link so this is all hypothetical. :(
