I do not thnk ANYONE here is going to spend the costs for commercial links of
te local area.  It will come, but is not here yet.

 MV> Are you aware that to help out those that can not get native IPv6 from

 MV> for free? Can you name one of hem?

Yes several.  They are posted in the Fidonews.  I can not get native IPV6 here
yet at a reasonable cost and that is true of much of Z1. There it no gain in a
tunnel of IPV6 to an IPV4 setup.

What I hope is the next FTSC chair thinks to ask about such availabilty before
assuming 'just tunnel it' works.

Do we even have IPV6 in Z4?  I do not know what they have access to it at all. 
Eventually we all will, but it will take time.
