    Hurricane Electric has this free tunnel brokerhere that allows you to experiment with IPv6 by tunneling it over IPv4. Interesting stuff.

      There's also www.freenet6.net, which doesn't ask for as much personal info, and AFAIK, doesn't delete unused tunnels. (HE says they will phone you to verify the tunnel, and it will be deleted if you don't respond to pings for 24 hours.)

    Why do they call it IPv6 instead of IP6? Nobody talks about Linux v2.4, Windows v2000, or Solaris v8. IP6 is more elegant and easier to pronounce than "eye pee vee six."
