The problem was isolated to the DSL modem (Westell model C90-36R516-01). 
There are no firmware updates available for such an old device but I 
borrowed a batch of other modem models from our boneyard and was able to 
get IPv6 working.  SpeedStream 5667 and Westell 6100 are 2 models that 
worked out ok.
