OS/2 is dead. It does not support IPv6 and never will. The makers of its 
successor, EcomStation promised they would add IPv6 but it never emerged and by 
now Ecomstation is a dead end as well. The latetst successor, ArcaOs, had no 
support for IPv6 either and the makers say there are no plans for IPv6 yet. So 
forget about OS/2 and its successors.

AFAIK, there is no 16 bit OS that supports IPv6.

Anyway. IPv6 was born in 1995, more then two decades ago. I say that any OS 
that doesn't havae it yet, almost at the end of the second decade of the 21st 
century, has missed the boat and is not worth any rescue attempt. Let's forget 
about the dinasours and move on.

Just my EUR 0.02.

Cheers, Michiel
