+====IPv6 Support====
+As of 7/29/2002 EPIC fully supports IPv6 in server descriptions, server
+connections, $[[connect function|connect]](), $[[listen]](), /[[DCC]]
+[[dcc GET|GET]], Virtual Hostnames, $[[iptoname]]().
+====Server descriptions:====
+Surround the ipv6 p-addr with square brackets: \\ /[[server]] [1:2::3]:...
+====Server connections:====
+You can now connect to servers via IPv6!
+====Changed functions:====
+$[[connect function|connect]](<host> <port> <family>) \\ where <family>
+is "4", "6", "v4" or "v6" and <family> is optional.
+$[[listen]](<port> <family>) \\ where <family> is "4", "6", "v4" or "v6"
+and <family> is optional.
+$[[iptoname]](<p-addr>) \\ Both IPv4 and IPv6 "p-addrs" (ie, A.B.C.D or
+A::B:C) are now supported.
+====Virtual Hostnames:====
+If the hostname that you choose as your virtual hostname has an IPv6
+address, then that IPv6 address will be used as your virtual host if
+you connect to a server via IPv6.
+====DCC:====
+/[[DCC]] [[dcc GET|GET]] \\ If you receive a DCC SEND handshake from someone
+else and it uses an IPv6 hostname, you will be able to /DCC GET that file.
+This is forward compatability. Nobody can do /DCC SEND via IPv6 yet.
