Sane for Whom?

Well APIPA is sane to people for whom "networking" stands for either being on Social Networking sites or playing games on two or more computers "together" 
MS people implemented APIPA so that people can just connect two machines without having to know what an IP is and how to configure it. You just need to know which cable goes where!
It's not a good idea for a server-client environment and in noway should be a substitute for DHCP. I never saw anything like that in UNIX/Linux world and would never like to see it. Everything has its own place.

The uhmodem driver provides support for the Huawei 3G wireless modems and its variants. This type of device has multiple com ports. And some modems have own storage to contain its device driver (for Windows). The uhmodem driver can handle all of these functions on the device. When the device attached, it will attach multiple ucom devices. The former one is main com device to use communication with your network provider, and others are sub com devices to monitor the condition of data communication and/or network status. These com devices can be used simultaneously. The device is accessed through the ucom(4) driver which makes it behave like a tty(4). SEE ALSO
