%ping 126.255.255.255 works for some mutant stacks. plays old-hob w/ your arp cache tho. but i suspect that the /8 on the reference was either a typo from the original query or a vestigal remainder from the emacs buffer. pinging the indicated /32 gives me this: $ ping 126.66.0.30 PING 126.66.0.30 (126.66.0.30): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 126.66.0.30: icmp_seq=0 ttl=235 time=311.999 ms 64 bytes from 126.66.0.30: icmp_seq=1 ttl=235 time=443.25 ms ^C --- 126.66.0.30 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 33% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 311.999/377.624/443.25 ms from the IVTF conference hotel lobby. --bill
