Cisco access-lists ???

something like this ("in cisco parlance" :-) should do the trick:

router bgp 65534
 bgp dampening route-map damp
!
access-list 101 permit ip any 255.255.240.0 0.0.15.255
access-list 102 permit ip any any
!
route-map damp permit 10
 match ip address 101
 set dampening 30 750 2000 90
!
route-map damp permit 20
 match ip address 102
 set dampening 15 750 2000 60

you can see the effects from the output below.  in short, i've tightened the 
thresholds on prefixes longer than /19.

we're currently not dampening based on prefix length yet, although we are 
experimenting with it.
