Right. My ISP assigns a different address every time. We really need the
device naming feature that's coming.

At this time, at least, we don't (officially) allow access by this means—CA
TCP/IP over the Internet. Everything we have is local and internal—so far.

In addition, we'll have v3r2 machines for awhile. Does anyone know whether
v3r2 will have the host server changes that'll allow the new features of CA
v3r1m3?
