Yes it the info was from the mail server.  The GW had just about the 
same info but a .33 IP.  No, both the systems are static IPs.  The 
netmask was given by the ISP and is:

------------------------------------------------
           TCP/IP NETWORK INFORMATION
------------------------------------------------
IP Entered = ..................: 206.58.200.0
CIDR = ........................: /23
Netmask = .....................: 255.255.254.0
Wildcard Bits = ...............: 0.0.1.255
------------------------------------------------
Network Address = .............: 206.58.200.0
Broadcast Address = ...........: 206.58.201.255
Usable IP Addresses = .........: 510
First Usable IP Address = .....: 206.58.200.1
Last Usable IP Address = ......: 206.58.201.254
