Wouldn't it be possible to tunnel IP over Econet ?

I've got a PC with cable modem inet access, RiscPC and various Beebs.
It would be cool to be able to transfer files from the PC to BBC directly,
or to run a web server on the Beeb reverse proxied thru the PC, with the
RiscPC acting as a gateway (but can you get an econet card for a RiscPC ?
never checked - but I could always use my A420)

Anyone up for porting Samba to the Beeb ? ;-)
