Wollongong's WIN/VX 3.0 will be available in a few weeks (so they imply).
It is based on 4.3BSD.  We had a Beta release.  I know for a fact that
the broadcast address can be made all zeroes instead of the default all
ones since I did it.  Although I didn't do any testing of subnet masking,
there is no reason for me to believe it differs from 4.3BSD.
