I did telephone tech support in an Austin boiler room for awhile and used the decimal IP notation I'd learned from my ISP days a lot. Sometimes accessing a customer's router home page is a must and there is no connectivity for name lookups. Elderly people have trouble with dots and numbers, or they add spaces, or any number of things. Instead of directing them to 192.168.0.1 I'd tell them to enter 3232235521 and it would get the same place. My supervisor called me into the office because someone heard me doing it while snooping a call and it freaked them out.
