The problem is that, in my experience, ISPs still give this "old way".
What I was working on yesterday was client's network. His ISP gave him
255.255.255.248 as his netmask.

I have no doubt there is plenty of info on this. It's just that for those
of us that deal with subnetting irregularly we probably will not remember
the next time around. :-)

I will, however, take your advice and at the very least take one shot at
going over the info once. Maybe it's easy enough that the next time I need
to do this I will remember..
