EC is the group's resident expert on hex to binary and back, but if I may..
Hex number may have values from 0-15, with the numbers ten and higher
represented by the letters a-f
Now, one might ask, doesn't that 0-15 ring a bell?
You can take any hex address, say e47c, and convert it directly to binary.
E=14=1110
4=04=0100
7=07=0111
c=12=1100
e47c=1110 0100 0111 1100
write your wildcard mask against this binary number and write that mask back
to hex. So if your mask was 1111.1111.0000.0000 the result would be FF00
not that I really want to be able to do this in my head, but one hex number
is equal to four binary bits. Once you break it down, you almost have enough
fingers to do most of the math. :->

P.S. I believe Ipv6 is all in hex. :-0

Contrar Monfriar.
In IPX access-lists you can use a wildcard mask for IPX to specify certain
groups of addresses. They are used as wildcard masks are used for IP.
5.ffff.ffff.ffff
you would just have to translate the hex to decimal then decimal to binary
unless you can just go hex to binary (windows calculator)
