Yes we are!

I'm a coordinator for 44-net. I handle 1/5th of the USA. They're now just
beginning to talk about incorporating IPv6 into amprnet however in my case
it's unneeded. I have a /48 from he.net and broker IPs to various points
whether they be ipencap tunnel on 44net OR encapsulated under ax.25! The
trick was simple too. To route IP on ax.25 it demands ARP so it can use
the callsign as a mac address and we all know IPv6 uses NDS not ARP... so
depending on the remote source I do a 6-to-4 mapping to their 44-net IP
or to their commercial IP. For radio, the mapping goes to their 44-net IP
since that's the only IP they have. Speed wise, it's not much different
than IPv4... and it's slick because using 44-net that's your ARP mapping.

Interesting. It does however appear that it's not loading the nodelist.
I've reconfigured it so it knows it's there.
