Does the number you're calling to, support IPv6? If not, you'll have to use
an IPv6 tunnel, via IPv4. If IPv6 is supported, you'll have to configure
the PPP connection to use IPv6. I believe you can do that with ifconfig,
but I've never tried that. PPP can support almost any protocol, notjust
IPv4.

The kernel must be compiled to support IPv6. Pppd 2.4.2 and 2.4.3 have
ipv6 options, see man pppd. I've never used IPv6 and so can't provide
details regarding IPv6 pppd setup. But if you're familiar with IPv6
and with IPv4 pppd setup then the man pages should be enough.
