Drew,

Wollongong has a range of TCP products and they are not all up to the
same level of functionality.  However, almost all of them support a degree
of subnetting.  

In particular, the VMS product fully supports the feature, per RFC 950.

In my opinion, it is not reasonable for any newly-developed IP to omit
subnet support.  (However, it also is not reasonable to fault
an implementation that predates community acceptance of RFC 950.)
