<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks Kai for the info. <br>
<br>
I started in the technical world as a licensed amateur operator back in 1990 @ 15 years old.<br>
<br>
Just to add a twist to suit the AUSNOG forum, early in the days of amateur radio and the Internet the ham radio operators got togther and managed to allocate themselves the
<b>44.x.x.x/8 </b>network !! ( I thinks theres plenty of blocks available still in that range if your a ham radio operator and like to toy with IP !! )<br>
<br>
Info on the 44.x.x.x/8 range :<br>
