It does sound like a substantial undertaking and would be for a specific use case, namely running a full TCP/IP stack over the WiModem connection without the need for a separate PPP server/gateway device. In an Amiga context, it would let you use the whole family of bsdsocket.library programs (FTP, Web browser, IRC, etc.) rather than just a terminal program. But the WiModem as it stands can readily be used with PPP or SLIP to provide TCP/IP access via a suitable gateway, so it would be a convenience rather than an essential feature. And of course there are other (faster) ways to give an Amiga Internet access (PCMCIA Ethernet or Wi-Fi, Clockport Wi-Fi, plipbox, etc.). That's my thinking at least.
