any site that has the SMC connected to an external network
might want to reevaluate that

Therein lies the rub. At my site, the dictate has come down from on high (and not
completely without merit) that any PC on the network needs to be supported. The SMC
needs to be on the network in order for the "phone home" to work. We don't
have a modem on our SMC, it is configured to send problem data across the big, bad,
internet to IBM.
The dictate is not weird, but for such cases there is an acceptable
solution: separate network. It's a kind of physical security.
BTW: What kind of support does one have for 3494 or TS3500? There are
some computers inside, you can (should) connect them to the network in
order to have remote access. Did anyone get any security patch fo any of
the computers? They do have some OS (OS/2 for 3494, AIX or Linux for
TS3500 AFAIK). Usually there is patching policy (dictate) for the
computers in the network, obviously the policy does not cover such
embedded machines.
