The best way that I've found to "visualise" this problem (and the
solution to it) is to work along the following lines:

	A Class "C" Subnet maps directly to one AppleTalk (IPTalk) network,

	A Class B Subnet contains 254 (255? 256?) Class C Subnets,

	Therefore a Class B Subnet potentially contains 254 AppleTalk
	networks. All you have to do is to name them (i.e. allocate
	network numbers for each IP address that has the third octet
	different).

After having "named" them on your whiteboard, transfer the
information (the AppleTalk network number, IP subnet number and zone
name) to your atalkatab file and reboot the gateways.
