See, if you work with networks all your day through, and you
do not know by now that a /27 gives 2^(32-27) IP addresses
and wants (256-2^(32-27)) as a netmask, than you are lost
(besides... who needs that tool now that netmask r
x.x.x.x/27 gives you what you want, have not used it more
than once).

Though all that stuff gets boring if you juggle around with
OC-12 and up only (heh, this is Europe, man!), Juniper is
way better than Cisco, I mean, ip classless is still not the
default, is it by now? Ok, no rant here, get back to your
work, have a coffee, enjoy the internet.
