2IPv6 support in rdesktop
3========================
4The IPv6 support was developed by Mike Dawson <mike@dexy.mine.nu>:
5
6    Attached is a patch to tcp.c to enable IPv6 support.  Build with
7    'IPv6' defined to enable it.  It's so far only been tested on
8    Linux 2.4.21 connecting to Windows XP SP1.
9
10    Since terminal services doesn't seem to bind to the ipv6 interface
11    on XP I had to run 'netsh interface portproxy add v6tov4
12    listenport=3389 connectport=3389' from the windows command prompt
13    to get it to work.

16rdesktop now supports numeric IPv6 addresses:
17
18    It checks for two or more colons in an address to decide what it's
19    dealing with so you can now do:
20
21    rdesktop 2001:1:2:3::4
22
23    without it getting confused with an ipv4:port specification.  I've
24    also followed the square bracket convention used by browsers
25    (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2732.txt) so if you want to specify a
26    non-standard port with an ipv6 address you can use the format:
27
28    rdesktop [2001:1:2:3::4]:3390
