Sorry, Leo is correct. Technologies he outlined are only the tip of the
ice-berg of what *isn't* being exploited by the router vendors.

Your average PC doesn't have to be NEBS-compliant, doesn't have to work
more than 24 hours w/o crashing, and doesn't have quite strict constraints
on power & heat dissipation.  It doesn't have to have redundant power, and
its components are readily available and cheap (those are produced in
_large_ batches).

i think mo said something like "can we not discuss building global
infrastructure using home appliances?"
