Is there anyone that would be interested in providing a tunnel
to the 6bone for us? We are in Charlotte, NC and would prefer
to establish a tunnel with someone close by. We'd be doing this
via a cisco router so brokers are no an option for us. We are
AS8175.

We host about 1500 IPv6 over IPv4 tunnels via our tunnel broker.
Many of the tunnel broker users are running cisco routers.
Yes I was going too fast and missed his comment (it didn't parse)
otherwise I would have pointed out that if he is running a cisco with an
IOS that supports IPv6 he can run IPv6 in tunnels over IPv4.
For example:
interface Tunnel1
description An IPv6 tunnel peer
no ip address
ipv6 address <IPv6-address-for-your-side>/127
ipv6 enable
tunnel source <IPv4-address-on-your-router>
tunnel destination <IPv4-address-on-peer's-router>
tunnel mode ipv6ip

We also do IPv6 BGP4+ via the tunnel broker as well, although he would
need to correspond with ipv6@he.net to get that setup.
We've been setting up more native IPv6 sessions at Telehouse in New York
and at PAIX in Palo Alto (soon Equinix Ashburn and Equinix San Jose as
well). We are now tagging routes we hear via tunnels with a community so
that people that hear them from us can preference based on that (native vs
tunnelled) if they wish.

last I checked a tunnel+bgp worked from he.net worked on a cisco
not sure if i'd call it peering tho

You could try a book or two. Or if you're not afraid of RFCs: reading
2460, 2373, 2374, 2461 and 2462 should give you a good start. After that
you're ready to start experimenting. Keep in mind that packet forwarding
and routing protocols are nearly identical to IPv4, but the ways
addresses are used and neighbor discovery are very different. And then
there is all the multicasting...
