How long has UCSD had that class B? From the two I found via whois
(128.54.0.0 & 132.239.0.0), I would say quite some time.
I would argue that a class-B for SLIP/PPP users alone is excessive.
Would such a request from UIUC (not that we plan to do so!) pass muster
by the NIC today? My guess is probably not.
We use dynamic addressing authenticated by TACACS which hooks to Kerberos.
