The Mac I'm using is running in IPv6 only mode at the moment (just turned IPv6 off in network managment panel). I can get to the corporate mail servers. I can get to all the corporate web sites. Jabber works from it. I can get to the git repositories. If my ISP would give me IPv6 I could get away without IPv4 for almost all my work activities. Now if Google would give their DNS servers AAAA addresses I could get to the rest of their servers. Come on Google your 99.9% of the way there. Facebook is reachable. IPv6 only is definitely achievable. Mark > Michel. > -- Mark Andrews, ISC 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117, Australia PHONE: +61 2 9871 4742 INTERNET: marka@xxxxxxx
