  Not currently.  But I can say that research has been done to look into the
matter.  Time is the major constraint, as all the people I know who have
access to FastPaths don't have time to haul their GSs back and forth to
them.  In some previous experiments we did, we used Todd Whitesell's
AppleTalk software in C to poke about the Internet a bit.
  I should point out that I have the source to NCSA Telnet (anyone can
get them from zaphod.ncsa.uiuc.edu) and they should be easily compilable
on the GS.  I just don't have the hardware to test it on.  Perhaps Todd,
who does, could check it out sometime later this spring.

>2)  Is there such a beast as an ethernet card for a //GS.
  Not specifically for the GS, but there do exist ethernet cards that
are SCSI based.
