Hello mister totally clueless. Here is a free clue - right in front of
you, and I'll bet you don't even know how to read it.

1878 Variable Length Subnet Table For IPv4. T. Pummill, B. Manning.
     December 1995. (Format: TXT=19414 bytes) (Obsoletes RFC1860) (Status:

You really need to learn to check your facts before writing them down,

Geez luser boy, I'm surprised you aren't advocating having businesses
use AOL - after all, you get 1050 hours free right now. Clue number 3:
businesses don't use Comcast. It's so loaded with zombie PCs run by
clueless fools that many intelligent network admins block everything from
there, just to protect their networks.
