I just checked with my ISP and there is no support for IPV6, I was told 
that they have spoken about it, but there is not enough demand for it 
yet. Support also said that very few ISP's have implemented it in our 
largest populated province of Ontario.

Not sure about the SixXS and 6to4 tunnelling you mention. It may be good 
to have links pointing to some solutions for those of us who are still 
stuck in the dark ages of IPV4. :-)

Cheers,

Marc
