You'll also need to implement PPP, and get the user to 'dial in' to your se=
rver.

Other than that, a modem is a nice an easy thing to emulate.

The only other thing that's come to mind is using firewire - it has a
built in network class that's part of the spec, so that would be plug
and play networking.

However there aren't any cheap microcontrollers with integrated
firewire, and the chips aren't cheap.  I don't know how easy they are
to work with either.

Maybe put wifi on the board.  Use javascript to update one file in the
mass storage that sets up the wifi to connect to the user's network,
then go through that.  Wifi chipsets are getting cheaper and
cheaper...
