well then, they're obviously clueless.
Hasn't this come up here before? I'm too lazy to go check the archive, but I seem to remember a discussion of this topic. IIRC, the reason/excuse given (lame or not) was that they use equipment that does not deal well/at all with CIDR or VLSM or somesuch. Or am I thinking of someone else?
Well, all of their gear is Cisco. Last I checked, I think Cisco was OK with CIDR and VLSM, and even unnumbered links.
perhaps they need to be told about "ip classless"?
As for the cluelessness statements, my take is that they've got some very clueful people, and some very clueless people. They've also got the inertia of a company many times their size. Perhaps that's appropriate, though, as they are now owned, at least in part, by AT&T (via the TCI deal).
no offense to the clueful then. the clueless won't notice. :) -- |-----< "CODE WARRIOR" >-----| codewarrior@daemon.org * "ah! i see you have the internet twofsonet@graffiti.com (Andrew Brown) that goes *ping*!" andrew@crossbar.com * "information is power -- share the wealth."
