HUH? 120 is easy! script it! ;)

or take 10 minutes of making one and copy and paste it another 119 times
and change the ip address...

?? particular modem? you do realize that S1 does not equate to M1 as
modems on the PM3 are dynamically assigned.

Perhaps instead of tying an IP address per port/modem you should ask how
you can better 'audit' usage. In other words, explain what type of
auditing you want/need, so that a better solution may be found for your
purposes.
