Lets review that article linked to in the original post.  It talks about 
modifying a WRT54G router to support IPv6 to an ADSL ISP.  Does that 
ADSL service support IPv6 over PPPoE directly?  Or does it require the 
PPP link be carried over IPv4?  That router, as far as I know, does not 
connect directly to the phone line.  I have worked with industrial level 
routers that support ADSL through a plug in module.  However, as those 
routers supported only IPv4, you couldn't send IPv6 over that ADSL line, 
without some form of tunnelling.
