What would it mean for LATs to support TCP/IP?

It would most likely mean they would support the TELNET
remote login protocol. Bridge makes a box exactly like
this. I doubt *very* much LATs support this although in
theory they could (all you need is a CPU and an appropiate
communications [ethernet is good] device and the software
which is non-trivial but mostly exists already).

$325/port? That's hard to believe...

No its not, that's currently competitive, perhaps a
little on the low side. Within the next 12 months we
expect to be spending about $200/port based on vendor's
projections and currently spend almost exactly that
(between $300-$400.)
