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.

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.
