To go along with Dan's query from above, what are the preferred methods 
that other SPs are using to deploy IPv6 with non-IPv6-capable edge 
hardware?  We too have a very limited number of dialup customers and 
will never sink another dollar in the product.  Unfortunately I also 
have brand-new ADSL2+ hardware that doesn't support IPv6 and according 
to the vendors (Pannaway) never will.  We also have CMTSs that don't 
support IPv6, even though they too are brand-new.  Those CMTSs top out 
at DOCSIS 2.0 and the vendor decided not to allow IPv6 to the CPEs 
regardless of the underlying CM's IPv6 support or lack thereof (like 
Cisco allowed for example).  Are providers implementing tunneling 
solutions?  Pros/cons of the various solutions?
