Well i consulted the allpowerful google and i found out earthlink has a
testbed ipv6 network (which i know is connected to OCCAID) and provides a
flash image for it which is not supported (of course). But I can not find
out if it only allows command over telnet or if it allows the web
interface for everything BUT ipv6

Anyone know? http://www.research.earthlink.net/ipv6/
