Telebits were dialup modems that ran at 1200bps, which was pretty fast
for the time, and spoofed the uucp "g" protocol to send large blocks
of data faster than would otherwise be possible.

/me facepalms
I don't know why I thought about cable modem cards.
I've heard about the Telebits and how they interposed themselves in the
line protocol.
I know multiple BBS SysOps that spoke of them fondly.

I just double checked. The Comcast network is definitely only giving
my modem an IPv4 address. Do you mean your modem gives you an IPv6,
is it a true IPv6 address (as opposed to the IPv4 slice of the v6 space)?
Can people in the outside world reach you at that IPv6 address?

Yes.
>Can people in the outside world reach you at that IPv6 address?
I can't check since I'm no longer at a place with Comcast service but as
I recall I could ssh out to my servers over IPv6 and it worked.
Comcast is a whole bunch of cable systems glued together so it would
not be astonishing if some bits of it still don't have IPv6 support.
Or maybe you just need a new modem.

Have you asked them if this is intended or a bug?

You must be from the era where customer support existed. We all know the
answer to "do you support IPv6?" will be "Sir we don't support you
peeing in sinks, this has nothing to do with us and we will terminate
your account for disgusting behaviour to a customer service representative."
