Hello.  I looked through the recent archives and didn't see this 
question addressed, so please excuse me if it has been beaten to death 
or is considered off-topic.

We have a UUnet link and a secondary provider.  The secondary provider 
has no IPv6 facilities.  UUnet (er, Verizon Business) has IPv6 clue, but 
there is an impenetrable wall between the customer and the clue which 
assures that there will be no IPv6 links or tunnels ever given to customers.

We would like to get an IPv6 tunnel to begin limited testing of IPv6 for 
customers.  Is there any IPv6-savvy ISP out there who will give/sell 
tunnels to other ISPs?

Experimentation with SixXS.NET has proven to be problematic, so I'd 
rather have a more stable and commercial relationship if possible.

As you might guess, our IPv6 traffic load is estimated to be between 
"zero" and "unmeasurably small," but we'd still like to have it hover 
above the absolute zero mark.

Any help/pointers/advice/proposals gratefully solicited.
