This is the first that I've heard of something like this. Does the EtherWave
adapter plug directly into the GS and allow the GS to do Ethertalk? Are
there any drives required on the GS side, or is it all handled by the
EtherWave device? A quick search of ebay came up with a few of these. Could
I use an Etherwave for connecting a Macintosh to an ethernet to connect a
GS? Ideally, I'd like to rid my self of any and all sneakernets ;-)
