The thought had crossed my mind! But if I could connect the Pic directly to
the ethernet card + simple power supply + some pic code, I would get a much
smaller and cheaper device ( I'm planning more than one here!). I think if
it is possible to make a ethernet card that connects to the parallel port,
why shouldn't it be possible to connect it to the PIC.
