yea, i'm probably going to have a play with a pic ethernet/eco interface
it would require a lot of work however somehow encapsulating the econet
packet into the raw tcpip or just ethernet packet. I suppose it could be
done as tcpip is just a protocol embedded in a raw ethernet packet
so just replace tcpip with ethernet.. as long as u have MACaddresses etc
should work.. i'll have to dig deeper methinks....
