Syntax to block 38 IPs

[Jack L. Stone]

TopPost:
Thanks for the quick responses.

So, I gather under IPFW(#1), it's either 38 lines or upgrade to IPFW2

I haven't had time to study IPFW2 too well, although I know how to upgrade.
A follow-up question is that, if I do upgrade, will IPFW2 still use my old
rules until I can get around to tuning/tweaking...??
