[olug] I seem to have an Omaha Cox Residential IPV6 address

[Lou Duchez]

Cool!  Um, I think it's cool anyway.

I'm still pretty peevish at IPv6 for not supporting NAT.  The address of 
my printer should not depend on which carrier I'm using.

Used to be I had two different Internet connections at work, and I was 
able to set up one as the primary and one as the failover. Worked like a 
dream ... but it would not be possible under IPv6.
