Has the UUG ever had "Using IPv6 in a v4 World" as the topic of one of its meetings? I've heard little things here and there, but I've never actually seen a computer set up to use v6 as its main connection to the rest of the universe. Knowing how to deploy and maintain an IPv6 network is a skill that could be in very high demand in the not-so-distant future. -Brent ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
