I'm inspired to take on the IPv6 challenge myself and am now seriously
planning to implement it at home.  Why?  A combination of curiosity (it's
there, give it a go), and professional interest (when the world goes IPv6,
I'll have a head start :) ).

Agreed.  I'd like to see a hybrid network with both IPv4 and IPv6 support.
However, I'm not gonna tell everyone how to run their system, but if you
want to see me on IPv6, I'd be glad to hook up! :).

Therein lies another challenge - security in a new frontier...  sounds like
FUN! :-)

And yes, Microsoft does have support for Win NT, Win 2k and Win XP.  Follow
the 6bone links, I had an interesting read and downloaded one of the Win2k
IPv6 stacks. :)

Agreed... :-)

LOL

But I'm up fpr IPv6...  Hopefully I won't break anything...  My network
config already has a lot of quirks. :-)
