    BR> I made a utilty for myself which I call "ipblock". It handles whatever

    BR> /sbin/iptables -I INPUT -s 49.7.0.0/16 -j ROP   
    BR> /sbin/iptables -I OUTPUT -d 49.7.0.0/16 -j DROP   
    BR> /sbin/iptables -I FORWARD -s 49.7.0.0/16 -j DROP

   Or take it to the INTERNET and/or TCPIP areas, so we can all learn! ;)
