Maybe a slight modification to choicenet could allow this. This would
have the side effect of fixing my Max4000 as well: "gee boss the max don't
work with choicenet, guess we'll just have to replace it with a pm3" :)

Or as you suggest a new option to ComOS that wont accept a packet over a
dialin that is not within the ip and netmask assigned to the port.
