yes but eventaully people may want a few ips to host, etc. ips will be chewed soon enough. May also wish to
allcated blocks to cells for the future expansion also.

I would agree too adrian, but not everybody has a spare class c address handy, you and I may have a couple
class c each, but how many others on this list. Nice of you to donate some of your ip's. I don't believe apana
would hand any of there ips, and if they loaned them, there is a need the may wish for the back in the future.
I thought AUNIC was out of ips and currently it cost money to have a class C. I know they goe for quite a few
dollars at defunct ips auctions. AUNIC web page just looking states they haven't handed out ips since 1997. May
try APNIC.

Yes IPV6 sounds good. Someone before said freenet6.net. that web page can't be found. Is there another one.
