Hi folks,

My thanks to everyone who responded to my request for comments on how to r
configure the IP addresses for a network consisting of a lot of subnets 
connected by routers over serial lines.  There were over 20 replies, most 
agreeing on unnumbered subnets as the way to go, although a few of you did
mention variable length subnet masks and OSPF routing updates as a more
sophisticated and just as workable approach.  I appreciate the live experience
a couple of you shared on attempts to implement the Class B offices linked
by subnetted Class C serial lines.  You justified our suspicions that 'here
there are monsters'.

I would have replied sooner, but my son was in the hospital unexpectedly for
a week with meningitis (he's ok now) so I was a bit back-logged.

Thanks again,
Richard Gralnik
