Now, I haven't had a chance to thoroughly test this out, but I'm pretty
sure at one point we had our pm25 with only 2 ports set up for dialnet,
and the IP numbers kept incrementing. Again, like I said, don't quote
this as gospel, I know that what Mr. MegaZone said coincides with what's
in the manual, but I really don't think it happened that way on ours.

When I get a chance next week I'll double check it.
