But you'd think they'd start evolving their networks onto private IPs. We
have a /24 here and are starting to look for boxes to shove off the network
to make space for more. Instead, we should be allocating class C addys to
any new boxes going onto the network, especially the desktop PCs (there must
be about 150 M$ PCs with fully routable IP addresses just so their users can
save their Word documents to the file server!).
