We consider the problem of bounding the dimension of the linear system of curves in \bf P2 of degree d with prescribed multiplicities m1,...,mn at n general points (\citeHir1,\citeHir2). We propose a new method, based on the work of Ciliberto and Miranda (\cite CM1, \cite CM2), by specializing the general points to an elliptic curve in \bf P2.
