For what it's worth, I have seen a flyer from an apparently reputable company
advertizing not only a cheapernet (Ethernet, but with cheaper cable.  Totally
compatible with the real thing) board for the Amiga, but Internet protocol
software (telnet, ftp, etc.) and Sun NFS drivers as well.  I think that this 
would qualify as adequate networking support.  I would like to see a Macintosh
even try to use a Sun fileserver.

(Yes, I am aware of the possibility that it's all vaporware, but even so, it
indicates that people out there are thinking in the right direction, and we
should expect such things Real Soon Now.)
