i have IPv6 here but it is only to the ISP modem which is in transparent bridge
 mode... IPv6 stops there...

 MV> Is your LAN IPv6 ready?

the LAN (wiring and switches) can handle it, sure... but all systems internal
to the LANs (there are three of them here with a fourth one in the works) have
IPv6 explicitly turned OFF... we are not fans of allowing unmonitored protocol
free range on our networks...

 MV> When can we welcome you in the Fidonet IPv6 club?

never unless my firewall package adds IPv6 support PLUS the various add-ons we
need are also ported to the updated firewall package... we won't mention that
the mods needed to add the 4th network must also be able to be easily applied
to the updated firewall package, too...

good things come to those who wait...
