[ILUG] What Irish ISPs support IPv6?

[Andrew Court]

I would have thought if you got an IPv6 address now, it would have
major security benefits. I am assuming most people on this list have
servers and things. I would imagine the script kiddies have not
started scanning ipv6 networks yet, as there are so few systems
running it yet. That of course will change.
