TCP/IP is becoming more ubiquitous on a minute-by-minute basis and this would seem to make sense. Does anyone have any reason why this is a BAD idea? Or should we all start writing letters to 3Com and other manufacturers begging for this functionality? It would certainly make life easier for my cute little 66-MHz Pentium firewall.
