You are right. End station (PC) is SCP-equivalent in packet world. Will
Internet community allow or push for it? How to manage credentials, etc...?
Pain and more pain...

Since when had dialtone got end-to-end signalling/control? My POTS line
doesn't run C7/SS7. I mean authentication as in scp (and not tftp). IE
one end user authorizes the other end user, using whatever credentials
they like.
