MV> Hello David,
MV> What type of fysical connection do you have? DSL over 600 Ohm 2 wire?
MV> DOCSIS over coax? Opical over glasfiber?
Providers here are weird, Mine is called Tigo and it's DOCSIS HFC but they do
alow IPv4 bridge mode, Claro (big bad monster), DOCSIS too and also offer IOPv6
but meh, etb fiber but no IPv6, so here in my country we're way behind and
those big companies give balls about customers and their needs. I'm even afraid
of asking becaus eit frusrates and angers me even more.
MV> I am in the fortunate position to have a choice between the three.
MV> Although DSL is no longer interesting compared to coax or fiberglass.
I am let's say only coax with two providers becaus eI'm on an apartment complex
and tehes a layer of let's say *corruption* where a single (big) provider pays
the administration of teh building to keep other providers out.

MV> There are only two IPv6 capable Fidonet nodes in Z4. The first is your

Yup, I link to Fernando for my newly (restored) node and I was not foing to be
IPv4 only node, so I gave it a go and here we are. Like I said, I love IPv4 and
that's one of the topics that I'm pasionate about teaching and researching.
DG>> The otehr issue I do not want to rn n into is using Tunnelbroker,
DG>> it's slow because of it's 6to4 tunnel nature, but it's an
DG>> alternative, I do like HE, but being a VPN and its inherent

MV> He.net has been providing a fantatic service to the IPv6 community. I
MV> have had an he.net tunnel for many years. When I finally got native
MV> IPv6 in 2016 I did not need them any more. But I am still gratefull
MV> for here fantastic service. They even managed to get the "sage
MV> T-shirt" delivered exactly on the day of my 70th birthday!
Lovely, I got one of those myself but I lost it, that was my first real
approach to v6, I fidled with OpenWRT, dd-wrty all of that until I landed my
first Mikrotik and then I just fell inlove with those devices and what tehy
could do.
