request for a connection

[Guy Davies]

Hi Tom,

UUNET/US isn't yet connected to the 6bone.  UUNET/UK is but you may find
you get better responses if you connect to another US backbone site.  If
none will help, then get back in touch with ipv6@uunet.pipex.com and I'll
willingly setup a tunnel for you (but your US=>US traffic will cross the
Atlantic twice)-:

My suggestion would be to go through the backbone sites and traceroute to
the IPv4 address of their routers.  Pick the one with the fewest hops
(giving preference to US sites)

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Guy
