Nonesense. We've had to re-IP most of the ADSL cities a couple of times already with additional or larger subnets. *You* call a thousand customers and walk them through static IP address changes. It's a hell of a lot easier to make changes as needed.
Besides, you're paying less than $60US a month for T1 download speeds... I wouldn't complain.
I told the powers-that-be that IPMasquerade in it's many forms would be all around (hell, I'd do it myself). That's not the problem. The problem is supporting many, many firewalls on mulitple OS's... nope, not really feasible at this time.
I argued for *nix support. I was overruled. Same grounds, which, knowing a few other things, I can see. But, there are also solutions to that as well. Just not a battle I see worth fighting at this time.
w98 has exhibited this as well, but not always (haven't figured out why yet). Linux, of course, works fine. Actually, so does NT... their dev team actually read the RFCs.....
Actually, Bellsouth *does* support Macintosh.. I think you mean BellAtlantic there.
The biggest problem we've had is that the Mac doesn't implement CIDR properly (so it chokes if it get's handed an address ending in 255 or 0 via DHCP).

So find someone who needs a little enlightenment (mental, not window managers ;-) and give them the URL.

we did. It's just inefficient use of a /22 subnet.

It's Rob's site, it can be whatever the hell he wants it to be.
