There are very few ADSL routers which support v6 of ppp. The
Manufactures have been very slow in dealing with this(lack of demand
being the reason they cite). Of course you can use a Cisco, Juniper
and most other Hi-end routers but I don't know many homw users who are
willing to pay the price for them.
If you have a linux/bsd box (like us) you can put the router in bridge
mode and use the pppoe client on that to deal with v6 but of course
that then requires support from the ISP. Supplying v6 addresses is the
easy part, the hard part is making sure you can reach v4 only sites
and vice-versa and making this scale in a reliable way.
