Yes, there is an ethernet card for the GS already. I believe they have
marinetti tcp/ip running on it somewhat at this point. Theoretically, it can
do anything of course, just waiting for someone to write the software. It's
called the LanCE gs or some such, kinda costly in my opinion. There will be
other options soon enough.

I keep having delays, but the prototype sitting on my desk here is well over
halfway done. Within a week, only software will remain to be done, I hope.
So yes, even though some have questioned just how serious I am, let me say
that I am dead serious. Kudos to the wiring job, mine is a mishmash of cat5,
coax and fiber (150' for $10 is a bargain, wouldn't you say?).

Prepare to pay, or prepare to wait. I'm trying to hurry.
