So far as I know, the decision is not up to me, but to my ISP.

Then you know wrong.

With a tunnel like e.g. he.net you get a stable IPv6 address regardless of what your ISP can offer you. It takes less than a minute to get one. If your IPv4 address changes, it takes only seconds to update your IPv6 -- much faster than updating your IPv4 via various TTL settings at all DNS servers involved...

I've had a reliable IPv6 connection for almost 15 years now -- and I'm still waiting for my ISP to offer me a "native" IPv6 address.

Wrong... It took me almost two minutes to get a tunnel from he.net. :-)

Darn! :)

Why you might ask since I already have a native IPv6 address.

Not really, I could have chosen an ISP with native IPv6 support, but decided that there were more important factors to take into account. And I'm quite comfortable (and satisfied) with the tunnel approach.

have never gotten any personnel hand experience. So.. I decided to see
for my self.

That's the true Fidonet spirit. 8-)

I may ask some questions if the need arises.

Bring it on, man!

Publishers will be forced to go with IPv6, leaving your ISP no choice
but to give you what you want. Michiel warned us all about this a long
time ago, in the Fidonews. But did anybody listen, or want to listen? Nooooooo..... The Flying Dutchman had flown off his handle once again
and not a single living soul wanted to listen to another word ...

And still after 15 years of "reliable ipv6 connection" :

tommi@rpi:~$ telnet -6 eljaco.se 119
Trying 2001:470:27:302::2...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
tommi@rpi:~$

:D

Incoming IPv6 is used only for certain services here, telnet is not one of them.

look at that command line again... port 119 is the NNTP port... is your news server not available on your IPv6?
