On a side issue then.. : Why do so many vendors automatically generate a classful netmask? Surely the correct practice is to force the input of a mask as there is these days (cidr) no system to state what your netmask is.. even a /24 would be better than typing in 10.3.2.1 and getting a /8 </rant> Steve
