Mike,

While more memory might provide a few more nets, my comment on packet-size
limitations presumably remains valid. Last we talked, I think something
like 130-odd networks was expected to break, depending upon the exact mix
of class A/B/C nets. I got a taste today myself, when our beloved gateway
winced and we had to recompete the table entries. Do not bury the
port-expander nets just yet...

Dave
