[arm-allstar] Anyone currently using IPv6??? was:lots of log entries

Tue Jul 18 23:36:39 EST 2017

Hi Stan,

We're considering pushing this change out as a default-setting. We may 
also add this to a new misc. settings submenu that is in the works.

....Still pondering the best plan. Along this thought, is anyone out there 
(besides me!) actively using the hamvoip image with IPv6 networking???

Yes my Comcast Business Class (cable modem - DOCSIS v3.0) hands out IPv6 addresses as a default.
