But the "add route" doesn't not allow you to specify a netmask. How would
you do routing between dialup customers connecting to different PM2e-30
assuming that the ethernet ports' IP addresses do not belong to the
same class C IP address (since we are talking about 300 phone lines).
Would an entry in the netmask table handle this and specify a route like
add netmask xxx.yyy.zzz.0 255.255.255.224
add route xxx.yyy.zzz.32 aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd 1
