The Flash EEPROM is hardcoded for four IP addresses by means of the netmask (i.e. the menu inside of the device doesn't let you enter netmasks outside of the range.) And even if one somehow did manage to flash the device with an alternative flash image, I seriously doubt that the device on the other side would allow it. > Given the relatively low speeds involved here, I > wouldn't worry > terribly about the overhead.
