I can't speak for Matthew, but many smallish ISPs have legacy /24 allocations from using Livingston Portmasters and IRXes before they could do CIDR (I *think* they solved that problem, but I don't know for sure).
If that's the case, it's understandable. We had devil of a time trying to get longer than /24s to work with cheap equipment some high schools bought to do their internal networks. Legacy equipment not being able to do that is something you can't do anything about, but it's time vendors learned what CIDR is... -dorian ______________________________________________________________________________ Dorian Kim Email: dorian@cic.net 2901 Hubbard Drive Network Engineer Phone: (313)998-6976 Ann Arbor MI 48105 CICNet Network Systems Fax: (313)998-6105 http://www.cic.net/~dorian
