In your backup method with a static IP, what number do we choose?  We
discussed this years back and could never come up with one that was
known to be safe.  We even went as far as talking about having a small
input device to key in the static IP address (not a popular idea). =20

In general I like the new idea, we should vet some of the assumptions
with customers, like our newly formed customer advisory board, to see if
this is what they want.  Just thinking of possible issues relating to
plugging a laptop directly into the 10x100 BaseT.  Do we supply the
cables?  Must they have one of their own?

Subject: [Zonda] Network initial config via WebUI -- system component

I've heard that we are going to try and have a WebUI initial (install)
config thing for Zonda release, so I thought I would write up how I
think we should make the system level network part of that equation
happen.  This what I planned to do for Linux regardless of how the
config was done, rather than use a serial port.

I'm asking for RFC at this time.  If there are no objections or
questions, I'll schedule a meeting if people think it's necessary.

Cheers,
