You need:

1) A mailer that supports IPv6. Binkd >= v1.0 will do.

2) Establish the IPv6 address of the machine that runs this mailer.
   Assuming you run Windows.

   Type "IPCONFIG" at the command prompt.
   Find the so called SLAAC address of the interface. This is the one
   with the lower 64 bits derived from the MAC address.

3) Go to the web site of your DNS provider and ass an AAAA record for that address/

4) Open port 25554 for IPv6 in your router's firewall/

5) Do the same in the Windows firewall of your Fido machine.


Cheers, Michiel
