- Uh, don't be so quick to assume that. A friend of mine lugs his sony
- newsstation with him as he travels, since most places he visits has
- some sort of ethernet connectivity. He gets a local IP, configures
- his box, and can then attach back to "home", where the fileservers,
- his tools, etc all live. Works like a charm... I'd love to have enet
- on a 170 (or whatever is about to come out... :-)
