The first email message that I sent was in 1974 but I believe it was
around
earlier than that. Here in the UK, BT plans to shut down the Telex
network
by next month, March 2008 according to
<http://www.sinet.bt.com/331v2p1.pdf>
It is becoming increasingly clear that we are not in a transition to
IPv6,
but in a transition to IPv4-IPv6 coexistence and interoperation. It's
messy
but that is what is coming down the road.
