  I cannot answer what Radu did to get his allocation, or who he got
it from.  Perhaps he means UUNET-UK, aka Pipex.

  UUNET-US was recently granted a pTLA allocation on the 6bone, and
the proper contact for a connection through us would be email to
ipv6ops@eng.us.uu.net.  This is being done as a non-production
service, and is not yet able to pass through any of the normal sales
or support channels of UUNET Technologies, Inc.

  As an additional point of information, we haven't gotten the new
address space allocation policies firmed up yet, and will need to
finish that before we can make tunnels to "customers".  That may take
another week or two to be put into place.

  If you are looking for address space from UUNET-UK (riversoft.com is
registered to a company in London, but you look to be west coast...)
they can probably supply that in shorter term, and they do have an
IPv6 router in the CA Bay Area...  The contact for the ipv6 folks
there is, I believe, ipv6@uk.uu.net.

                          - Chris
