Subnetting

G'Day all,

I'm subnetting a class C, and I keep reading that I can't use the all 1s
and all 0s networks. However, I want 64 host subnets which means I'm
wasting alot of address space.

I remember reading (on this mailing list, I think) that this restriction
can safely be ignored?

Is that true? Why has it changed?

Cheers,
Greg.
