He is just using poor wording.  Alot of people mix classless/classfull
which is a bad idea and bad practice.  Alot of people have it in there
head that a /24=Class C, /16=Class B and /8=Class A........which is
definitly not the case.  I believe he was just wanting to know the number
of /24's he could bust out of the /20.
