Don't forget MBBS. It actually had IPv6 capability before Binkd. But nobody noticed until after Binkd had it too.

So does D'bridge and the Argus/Taurus/whatver family. I have hopes for D'bridge, but have doubts about Argus and its cousins. Maybe we should just forget about them. I have dumped Irex because it became clear that it would never support IPv6. It tool me a long time to make that step, but I never regretted it.

Oh, yes. The Internet backbone is IPv6 enabled, all major OSs support it. All major browsers and e-mail stuff supports it. VOIP seems to still be a bit behind. But indeed, for most users it "just works".


Cheers, Michiel
