about IPv6 PPPoE

[Jørgen Hovland]

If your pppd doesnt support ipv6, you need to edit the proper Makefile for
your system in ppp-2.x.x/pppd/ (Makefile.linux for example, HAVE_INET6=y)

pppd can be found at www.samba.org/ppp

Bsd works fine too.

About windows:
I only tried raspppoe with windows 2000, and it doesnt support ipv6.
Does anybody know if its possible with windows / any software around?
