I am planning is to use a MacIvory Model 3 as a SLIP/Ethernet bridge.  Does
anyone have reason to believe that a subnet mask = "255.255.255.248" would
confuse a Genera box acting as an IP gateway/router?  The last octet = 248
(i.e. 0xf8) was chosen because my ISP is allocating me an 8 address subnet.
