Paul,

With IP Aliasing it always used to be 256 (no prizes for guessing why).  I 
don't see any reason why it would have changed recently.

On a more general note Mr Turner, you should really post to the list in plain 
text, not HTML - firstly an admin person (Gareth or I) will have to approve 
the message if it is in HTML format and secondly several people on this list 
use text only email packages (mutt, pine, emacs-RMail etc..) and find it a 
pain in the bum reading through HTML syntax.
