Hum. That's sort of strange since you have to allocate a block anyway...

199.84.54.41 _is_ the PM3. Given that there's no one on-line but me on
the console, and that the PRI interfaces aren't plugged in, I'm not sure
why it has decided that it needs to broadcast routes for those hosts, and
even worse, the netmasks that it is using are atrocious; I don't know how
it is coming up with them.

On the routing table issue, I forgot to get gated to broadcast direct
routes via OSPF; once I turned that on, the remainder of my routing table
showed up. I still don't understand what the OSPF area network range is
supposed to do given that it doesn't seem to restrict anything.
