Rest assured, I do that as well. I also end up usually spending a fair =
amount
of time on the phone with their contracted support desk which is usually
staffed by people that can barely spell IP and get confused if you =
suffix
it with v4 or v6. When I inquired about IPv4 and IPv6 support, I had one
literally tell me "We don't support either of those. Just ordinary =
Internet Protocol."
