Re: Free NAT for NT?

[Tyler Singletary <tyler () focus-vision com>]

        Actually, MS is also pursuing IPv6. I have the website link here 
somewhere- I will post it when I find it.  It's part of their college 
reachout program or some name like that. The point being, MS themselves are 
not developing it- they've contracted a Non-Profit college organization to 
develop it for the Windows (98/NT/2000) platform.
