Proper Broadcast Address ?

[Jay Daniels <jay infoave net>]

This may seem like a silly question, but I need to know for sure.

Setup a couple of DSLs on Linux using a subnet mask of 255.255.255.224
and I am concerned about the "broadcast" address. This is the only value
that the technician did not supply.

The question - is the broadcast address /always/ determined by the ip
and subnet mask?  

I used a simple subnet calculator to check the broadcast address and it
is the same.  It works, but I should know this simple question.  And
too, if was wrong would I still be able to route?
