25 TAB char acters. A __#__ at the beginning of a line
26 starts a comment which extends to the end of the line. The
27 ''Ethernet-address'' is written as
28 ''x'':''x'':''x'':''x'':''x'':''x'', where
29 ''x'' is a hexadecimal number between __0__ and
30 __ff__ which represents one byte of the address, which is
31 in network byte order (big-endian). The ''IP-number'' may
32 be a hostname which can be resolved by DNS or a dot
33 separated number.
