>Nope,  the input parameters result in an undefined result; so it should
not be expected to make sense, like division by zero.

You might not have meant it that way but the dividing by zero comparison
makes  really sence: the situation ought not to makes sence. I like that
explanation. Thank you.

>But it does make sense.  RARP is defeating your subnetting by turning the
whole mess into a really slow LAN - that is what RARP is (or was) for,
non-routable protocols could be bridged over WAN links.
>Different compression techniques often only support given protocols or
have topology expectations - so they are always sort of a wild card.

Okee and thats why rarp gets it running while it does not make sence :-)

This finaly puts things in its place. Great!

Bert.
