Do you think this would really happen? Is what you are saying above is
the ISP allowing 256 IPv6 addresses to be usable over a PPP link?
Because that would be great if that became some kind of a "standard
service" by ISPs once IPv6 becomes standardized. :>
Is it possible now that an ISP can allow 2 or more IP addresses to exist
on one customer's PPP dial-up connection (for LAN use) ? I don't
know much about PPP and routing and a bunch of other stuff right now,
but it is something that I have great interest in learning about.
Anybody feel free to point me in any direction to learn more about PPP
and how routing works. I want to create my own dial-up PPP server and
do some experimenting with--to be able to connect two LANs via PPP
and make a "WAN".
thanks all,
Scott.
