	I want to call my readers attention to something neat that Earthlink  
R&D did.  They wanted to make it possible for more folks to be able  
to play with IPv6.  They came up with a neat hack that uses a Linksys  
WRT54G, that turns it into an IPv6 appliance/router.  More details  
can be found at: < http://www.research.earthlink.net/ipv6/>.
	I tried this out today on a spare WRT54G that I had laying around.   
I was able to download the firmware and get it configured and working  
in less than thirty minutes.  MacOS X works just fine on IPv6 and is  
quite easy to configure.  I plan to leave this appliance/router up on  
my network for a while and use it as a tool to come up to speed on  
IPv6.  This approach allows me to play in both the IPv4 and v6 world  
from the same network and with the same computer for just the cost of  
a WRT54G, which is about $50.  Pretty neat!
