I'm not sure I like the appearance of "/24" in flowing text, but the patch builds fine. > Index: books/handbook/ppp-and-slip/chapter.sgml > =================================================================== > RCS file: /home/ncvs/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ppp-and-slip/chapter.sgml,v > retrieving revision 1.173 > diff -u -r1.173 chapter.sgml > --- books/handbook/ppp-and-slip/chapter.sgml 30 May 2006 23:08:24 -0000 1.173 > +++ books/handbook/ppp-and-slip/chapter.sgml 5 Dec 2006 10:53:35 -0000 > @@ -760,7 +760,7 @@ > > <para>For example, if you have three dialup customers, > <username>fred</username>, <username>sam</username>, and > - <username>mary</username>, that you route class C networks > + <username>mary</username>, that you route /24 CIDR networks > for, you would type the following:</para> > > <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>ln -s /etc/ppp/ppp-shell /etc/ppp/ppp-fred</userinput> > @@ -827,7 +827,7 @@ > should also contain routing information for each static > IP user if required.
