The problem: a T1200f with the expansion slot already spoken for and a user
wanting to get ethernetted.
The solution: a parallel<->ethernet "transceiver".
the question: are ther tcp/ip packages which work with these things?  More
generally do these pretend to be an ethernet card to software  or does the
software need to know what it's dealing with?  More specifically how about
ncsa-telnet?  Note the f (dual floppy) on the model name, is this a
problem?  Any general comments on using these things?
Reply by e-mail and I'll summarize if there's interest
thanks in advance
