Do larger providers have to play by the same rules, or do they all
still have so much extra space from the pre-CIDR days that it doesn't
matter? I ask because I know of at least one BBN customer that less
than a year ago was assigned 3 /24's for their 30 machine network.

Net99 gave one aquaintance of mine a /22 when he asked for one /24
(back when they were net99)

I also know of another friend of my other half :slight_smile: who was given a "B",
and, yes boys and girls, he has a dialup account. Of course, this was
in '89 or '90.. but he's still got that SLIP :slight_smile:
