IIRC the subnet mask 255.255.255.255 means simply that there are no other systems on the same subnet as yours. I've never seen this myself but it sounds like it might be appropriate for a dialup connection.

It's a /32. Quite normal for loopbacks and dead-end connections.
Dialup, some PPPOE, etc use this for the source IP address of your connection. The actually links et al are unnumbered or are in RFC1918 address space. Loopback connections have used this for > 10 years.
It's becomming quite more commonplace as RIR's are forcing broadband carriers to use up 100% of their address space.
This is good stuff to know,I don't hear about things like this at school.
