Fun with Novell and IPv6

Since I try to get IPv6 running with Netware
(its one of the main reasons I try IPv6 here and connected to 6bone)
I tried once again to find someone who could tell me about a Novell
Netware implementation for IPv6. So I tried forums.novell.com (NNTP).
I can only see this issue with a bit sarcasm, but, read ahead.

Hi,
I've been looking around for a Netware IPv6 Stack but couldn't
find it either on Netware 5 or somewhere on the Novell site.
Are there any IPv6 implementations for Netware?
On http://developer.novell.com/research/appnotes/1997/march/03/04.htm
its noted that there is "going to be" support for it in the next
generation of products (Netware 5?). Also NTP is mentioned there as
upcoming feature, but I didn't find IP Security/NTP or IPv6 inside
Netware 5.
Best regards,
Thomas Kuiper

NTP is built into TIMESYNC as of SP1 or 2.
IPv6 -- no, I think this is still not available.

I don't think IPv6 is available for NetWare yet.

Ipv6 isn't there yet. I believe that is still 'in development'.

so I thought: wow, hm, 2 support guys of Novell say
"I *think* its not done yet" and one says "I BELIEVE(!)
its in development", lets ask them for a time.

I really would like to know but nobody at Novell could tell
me this. There are the specs...
~~~ and the best reply I have ever seen from a support guy:

Thomas Kuiper :
Well, none of us work for Novell...so we don't know either.

why couldn't they say that in the first place :(
Novell has a contact listed about IPv6 on:
http://playground.sun.com/ipng/ipng-implementations.html#Novell
if you try to mail him [email protected] sends you back
that [email protected] isn't valid anymore :-<
So IPv6 got dropped at all now at Novell or what?
Only one document from 1997 on their server telling it will be
availiable "in a future release".
I'm lost now. It would be really wonderfull if someone could
tell me what is going on at Novell with IPv6.
Gruss/Regards,
Thomas
