I signed up with Hurricane Electric for a free 6in4 tunnel at http://www.tunnelbroker.net/
There's a button in the UI that says 'Assign /48', so that's encouraging.

Now to upgrade my C861's IOS to a version that actually supports IPv6. :-)

The DSL modem (or whatever the provider CPE is) needs to pass IP protocol 41.  Many won't, at least when in NAT mode.  Bridged mode is probably fine - going to shortly find out!
