The ifcico I use is the one that comes in the regular Debian distribution. It crashes on my system, when I try to use some of the dialing conditions, and it may not be 100% 64bit safe. The only connects I have are on the Pots line.
As far as I know there is no Ipv6 in ifcico, but for incoming traffic I understand, that that is handled by the Inetd daemon. So I can only have incoming IPv6 traffic there.
For outgoing traffic on IPv6, the extended devoloment of ifcico, qico has possibillities for IPv6. Atleast, there is a patch by Andre Gruenenberg who also provided the IPv6 for Binkd. Andre has recently left Fidonet.
I looked into qico, it may have many of the flaws in ifcico removed, but to me the config file looks like a swiss armyknife, it want to do everything.
With the patched of qico, it should be possible, the do similar things with ifcico, but with the failure in the flag selection, I have not had the courage to modify ifcico for IPv6
Another source for what to adapt could be mbcico by Michiel Broek, who delveloped MBBBS. That is also a derivative of ifcico, with binkd added. My grudge there is that Michiel moved the configuration into a database, and you probably have to run the whole package. Mbcico had quite a few changes, compared to ifcico, but a gain, if you look at the patches by Andre Gruenenberg, it should not be too difficult to find what is changed to enable ipv6. It are mainly the strings that hold the address and the functions called to get the host address.
I am also interested to get ifcico to do ipv6 or strippeddown qico. The crashing on the flags held me back to explore further. It could be in the code, it could be because it is not 64bit safe, who knows.
In general my span of concentration on a specific problem is sufficient to locate the problem, but not to solve it. I return a year later to see if there has been any progres by the developers. With ifcico that does not help, because I do not think that there is any development being done.
I think that Benny Pedersen has used qico on IPv6, I think he recently wrote that he went back to IPv4 only, as he had problems with hist IPv6 tunnels, and is now waiting for native IPv6.
Maybe a bit archaic, but this is all I can gether on the subject at this moment.
