Question about the future

[Brian E Carpenter]

The attached message was apparently NOT sent by anyone from IBM - 
in fact we have no idea who sent it - it does not in any way represent 
IBM's views. As a matter of fact IBM has already made an IPv6 download 
available for IBM mainframes, and we released IPv6 for the AIX operating 
system in 1997. So please ignore the message and the alleged sender.

Regards
