Yup.....  That's why we took the "@" sign out again shortly after
putting it in.  By using the right level of subnet masking we were
able to specify the valid IP ranges for all our users without going
to pages and pages of individual entries.  It's a nice security
"feature":  If the user's IP address is not in the configured range,
all they get in response from the 3000 is.....:  silence.
