Web Server Packed into RJ45 Connector

VinceTronics writes "Electronic Design magazine has a review (.pdf) of the XPort by Lantronix, a product that packs an entire web server into the volume of an RJ45 connector! This includes an 80186 controller, an OS, the TCP/IP stack, a 10/100 Ethernet transceiver, and the LAN interface magnetics. Downside is that the serial interface to the controller tops out at 300 kbps, but for $33 (in 10K quantities) it's a cool, easy way to net-enable just about anything."

You encrypt everything between the desktop and the server room anyway right?

Errr... nope. Does anyone know of any large companies which do this? We authenticate and authorise of course, but not encrypt. The wireless stuff is different - WEP after all stands for "Wired Equivalent Privacy", in other words, the encryption on a wireless link is there to make up for the lack of physical security.

I bet someone could generally walk in the frontdoor with a laptop and sit in the meeting room to accomplish the same thing without anbody saying anything /me looks at burly security guard, cameras, turnstiles, swipe-card doors and dogs.

You know? I bet they couldn't :)
