I guess I'll have to add this to my ever growing to-investigate/to-do
list. Dunno where I'd find the adapters these days though.

I have one of the parallel port to ethernet
devices... a Xircom. I
wonder if anyone ever reverse engineered the user interface to the
parallel port for it :)
Somebody tried - they were working on a Linux device driver for it, and
you can search to find the results. In a nutshell, Xircom never
released the specs, and it was too much of a pain to reverse engineer.
Hence it is not supported by Linux.
