Apple IIGS on Ethernet?



	I don't know if there is really an answer to this question, but there's
no hurt in trying, so here goes:  My campus has an Ethernet system rigged up
so that students can hook computers right up to the campus network from their 
rooms, unfortunately, my computer is an Apple IIGS.  Is there any way to

	A) equip and IIGS to make it Ethernet compatible; OR
	B) trick the Ethernet into thinking that my AppleTalk port is really 
		a (really slow) Ethernet card.

If neither option is at all feasible, then I would be interested in 
recommendations concerning 

	C) a GS compatible modem I might use for the task.  I would prefer 
not have to dedicate my phone line if possible, however so I'm most
interested in possibilities A and B.  I'm somewhat sentimental about my GS, so
recommendations to abandon the machine and get a Macintosh will meet a rather
strong inertia.  Also, though my student budget is limited, I am willing to
make a somewhat substatial (and perhaps irrational) investment in my Apple.
