also check out freenet6.net for a source of real IPv6 addresses with
automatic tunnel establishment.  they hand out /48's to people who're
prepared to give them a legit email address ...

that'd be interesting, ta.  i'm in the process of building my wvlan
box for home, and we've got a lucent ap at work too, so i'll be
checking out mobile-ip shortly too ;-)

i had a quick look at some specs, etc for RSPF the other day.
similarly, i couldn't think of a likely technology that would require
us to use asymetric links.  802.11[abg] DSSS are all symmetric, i
think?  the older 802.11 FHSS is also. even the Ronja laser stuff
(anyone looked at building one of these?) seems unlikely to require
unidirectional links.

i have a contact at APNIC -- i'll ping him, and see what's the likely
situation wrt IPv4 /19, IPv6 /?? and an AS number allocation.

likewise.  and i think we'll need some expertise before we're done ;-)
