Not sure what you mean exactly. I guess the file did not come through in good order? You may want to download it from SourceForge or from here:
http://www.ams-ix.net/~arien/macnotation-0.9.8.diff I just tried it from there and it works for me.
\3 seems preferred by the IEEE and in many books.The '-' notation should be used by all media that use the Ethernet bitorder, TR should use ':' - at least if I interpreted the IEEE correctly.Well, it seems that hardly anyone knows that (or that I'm imagining things of course :-)
I for one, did not know that but it seems another reason for this patch :)
