MASKC=`echo $ADDR | awk -F. '{print $3}'`
MASKH=`echo $ADDR | awk -F. '{print $4-$4%64}'`
GATEWAY=$NET.$MASKC.`expr $MASKH + 1`
BROADCAST=$NET.$MASKC.`expr $MASKH + 63`
NETMASK=0xffffffc0

(I just had to reconfigure one of the "Athena" machines over there, and
it would be nice if future releases do not trash this change and cause
network problems -- ie. avoid frustrating all the network folks unhappy
both here and at the Media Lab.)
