The latest Fritz!Box is delivered with firmware that supports IPv6
(native, SixXS and 6to4 tunnels). They can do VoIP, too, and even include=
a
built-in phone answering machine forwarding messages through email. Ther=

are official IPv6-enabled firmwares available for several models.=20
They are not cheap but the quality is there. The manufacturer has been
very responsive to advanced users expectations.=20
If, for whatever reason the ADSL/VDSL modem part does not work well with
your ISP, it can be used as a router only, with whatever cheapo modem tha=

works in your area.=20
