I agree fully with Tom on this one. It's not a good idea to use x.y.z.0 for
host address.

I'd love to use all addresses if possible, using lower and upper networks
for dialin users would raise used addresses from 120 to 240 (which is much
better, IMHO).

Is there any other way to force pm to announce /26 network instead of
smaller pieces?

Thanks.
