o For technical accuracy.


We have had a problem with A/UX and TCP/IP lines dropping. The problem
configuration was:

IP: 192.31.38.69
Broadcast : 255.255.255.0
Netmask : 0

The resolution to the problem is with the configuration of the /etc/NETADDRS
file and the setting for the Broadcast address. The corrected configuration
is:

IP: 192.31.38.69
Broadcast : 192.31.38.255
Netmask : 255.255.255.0

With this modification all line drops will be eliminated.
