[6bone] v6 and ADSL

[Dan Reeder]

Firstly, thanks to everyone for your speedy comments.

I guess I should clarify what I'm wanting to do. I'm planning on obtaining a
/48 from a Tier1 isp here in Australia, then divde that both into point to
point links for our client's dsl tails, and /64 or /80 allocations for the
clients own internal use.
I know the cisco 827 would be fairly ideal to use as far as native
connectivity goes, but it is fairly expensive when compared with other
broadband routers on the market that small to medium sized businesses would
use. Also, I'm not too sure what IOS it would need, and if thats
commercially available. Anyone know of more affordable equivilants?

The alternative is to run some sort of 6-in-4 tunnelling... again, having a
supportable CPE solution would be best... I've even tossed up the idea of
setting cheap/small intel box running linux of some sort... :-\ but the more
professional the better.

any thoughts?
Dan
