In reply to Dan Ehrlich's question on subnet size: Dan, GE has a class A number that we subnet using 14 bits for the subnet number and 10 bits for the host number, thus giving us a mask of 255.255.252.0 or FF.FF.FC.0. It works fine on all the machines we have which includes sun, apollo, symbolics, ultrix vax, excelan, wollongong, bridge, proteon, and many others.
