So, let's say this were ported to a C128 or an upgraded 64. Would this
allow one to access the 'net?
As for ARCnet cards, yes, they're quite common in corporate and
government places, along with token ring (I believe IBM supported
these two, but not ethernet). I may have a couple.

   someone has
crammed UDP, IP and ARP into a tiny PIC microcontroller.   
 Does anyone know anything about this?  I would kind of like to set  
 up my Trs-80 Mod 4 on the net for various reasons. 
  I've heard rumors of IP (not TCP/IP, just IP) being written for the  C-64
...
 (along with PPP or SLIP I assume).  Apparently, the
port only had IP  and
...
 ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol---at the same
layer as IP) as
nothing else could fit in 64k.  IP isn't that difficult (and  uncompressed
...
 SLIP is pretty easy as well).  UDP is just a user
accessable (under  UNIX)
...
 version (more or less) of IP (unreliable datagram
protocol, but I think  UDP
...
 stands for User Datagram Protocol, as a datagram
protocol is unreliable  by
...
 definition if I recall correctly).

  -spc (Quick question:  how common are ARCNET cards for PCs and Tandy
	6000s?  I know there are Linux drivers for ARCNET cards, and I
	have two Tandy 6000s ... )
