This My idea was to go from the easy to the difficult in terms of hardware, but really the problem with the ENC28J60 as far as I understood from people in this group is that one needs to write the MAC software, which I haven't a clue how to do, or is it available now? > should be about the same amount of work on the PIC end, and a lot less > hassle on the PC end.
