You mean devices where the manufacture ignore IPv6 and shipped you a dud. Even devices with a 15 year life cycle should be IPv6 capable today. Microsoft shipped IPv6 capable versions of Windows in 2001. If they could see the writing on the wall back then *every* other device manufacture should have also been able to see this. -- Mark Andrews, ISC 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117, Australia PHONE: +61 2 9871 4742 INTERNET: marka@isc.org
