Damn it, if the network doesn't have subnets it should have whatever it
damned well wants to in its octets!!!  I would like to see you have
ARPANET and MILNET have a flag day...after all, they can have 0 in the
second and third octets.  Or are they exempt?

I know that a number of sites are host 0 on an IMP deliberately just so
the users can say @O <n> without dots, colons, slashes, whathaveyou.
