I don't recall any of our ISPs stating that they support it, and I don't recall seeing an IPv6 address when I was using a dial-up ISP. So, I'd say that they didn't provide the feature without mentioning it, either. And my ADSL modem doesn't support it, even if my new ISP does (which I don't know). I think that for some time to come, graceful handling of non-functioning IPv6 needs to be handled at our end of the stick. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.22.1-41.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.
