This is not theoretical. MLS does do its data transfer via TCP/IP. I  
transfer data over a high-speed connection all the time. Just a  
configuration setting as to whether or not it tries to establish a  
PPP connection via modem. I don't know if Church policy allows me to  
tell you how to change it, so contact your support rep for details.
