Sorry.
They are routable.
At a school where I do some work, there are 4 subnets that all talk to each
other. 192.168.1.0, 192.168.2.0, 192.168.3.0, and 192.168.4.0. Also, to
say that they are "non internet routable" is actually technically incorrect.
With my VPN box, I have a route from my WAN ip address to 10.0.0.10, which
is a 2K server at my office.
