24.114.x.x, which is very much a block assigned to rogers. So no, my rogers cell does not get a 25.* address. And rogers did ask iana what to do and was told they could use the 7.* block because they will never be used for machines on the public internet. -- Len Sorensen --- Talk Mailing List [email protected] http://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
