> Since when is a netmask even needed for a point to point link?

I've wondered this too, and have never managed to get a straight
explanation.  If anyone would be kind enough to explain to me just what
a netmask could possibly mean on a point-to-point interface, what
semantics one could have, I'd be very appreciative.
