Seems to me that with all the recurring interest in remote operation that pops up here and, with the number of people that are thinking about remote as a way to retire to a radio restricted QTH and still get on the radio, that a direct ethernet hook up like the Omni VII has would be a great addition to the K3.
I would visualize an internal modem board like Ten-Tec does in the VII that can be assigned it's own IP address and connected directly to the Internet without a computer at the remote location. This would be an option, so not required if someone isn't interested in remote operation - unlike TT.
Of course, this can be done now with the Remoterig set up but for a healthy cost. Whereas, the direct ethernet connection with appropriate software (like TT's One Plug) would be easier, neater and a lot cheaper.
