I could not find a _description{ for netmkaddr in the dial(2) man
page, but I wasn't looking very hard because I already had an
alternative solution in mind.  The alternative solution didn't work
and Steve's suggestion, applied where it made better sense to me,
worked a treat.  So now I know.

If I come up with a description for netmkaddr(2) worth adding to the
dial(2) man page, I'll submit a patch.

Lucio.
