Makes me almost want to go active again, though I guess I would need to convert to an HB callsign.
Amazing to think that there is an entire class A network in private hands.
I went to a client site a few years ago. They were a manufacturer of telco gear. Thousands of people at the location I went to.
When they first told me all their IPs were public, I tried to explain NAT and that surely they were using public IPs for everything.
They corrected me. They had a class A as I recall. When they bought a manufacturing plant from AT&T it came with a Class-A network.

Back when I was at IBM in the late 90s, I had 5 public addresses, 1 for my own computer and 4 for testing. IBM had the entire 9.0.0.0/8 block and my address was 9.29.146.147. When we started working with Ethernet, we used 8.0.0.0/8. I also had 5 SNA addresses. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
