I haven't had time to write a page about the system FLASH (there's
pretty much to say about it). But the TCP/IP settings are all there.
Including a hostname, if you have set it using Broadband Passport.
Which reminds me. If I were to write a device driver for the system
FLASH, what kind of device should it be? The main parts are organized
as partitions and blocks, so a block (buffered) device would seem like
the logical choice, but I don't know if that would work since the
block size is 60 bytes...
