Subj:	KA9Q, RIP, IP broadcast to 255 instead of 0

I notice KA9Q (901130) sending his RIPs to IP destination 0's,
rather than the 255's in my IF CONFIG control statement.
I can't seem to get him to use 255.

My IF line:

if config mynet ipaddress 128.247.201.36 netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast 128.247.255.255


I thought that configuration should make KA9Q, when he emits RIPs, send
out for 128.247.255.255.  I have an arp add for that address.

Please advise what I need to correct.

Thanks,
