I bought a new router (Buffalo) that I knew would work with the various
oss firmwares out there so that I could experiment with IPv6.

The way I understand it, IPv6 has IPSec built in, right? Wouldn't this
give you the security?

Anyone using IPv6 yet? My router works so good, its a shame to reflash
it until I'm really ready for it.
