Justin, Dial-up modem is just a layer 2 device with no IP address. Just think of = it as a converter, its sole function is to convert the telephone line to something your PC can use, in this case, Ethernet. Both IPv4 and IPv6 operate on the layer 3 of the OSI model which is taken care of by the = RAS. So basically any dial-up modem support IPv6.
This doesn't however mean that the equipment connected to the dialup modem supports IPv6. ISP still need to check this part of the picture. Old PPP implementations may be IPv4 only.
