Dear John:

0) The below message just popped up in my InBox. And, it appears that 
there has not been any follow-up comments.

1) How about have a look at our work, (URL below), in case you have not 
come across? We propose a very specific way of making use of the 240/4 
netblock. There are a couple manifestations from this approach that will 
enhance the Internet operations. In a sense, EzIP is a ready-to-go 
example that will benefit from the "IPv4 Unicast Extensions Project" 
efforts that Mr. Gilmore was referring to.

Your comments and thoughts will be much appreciated.

Regards,
