Subject: Emulating Econet hardware?

Hi

Here's a completely random thought after reading a previous post.

Would it be possible to emulate an Econet server and clock using a
PC's parallel port, and suitable software and cabling? A little bit
like my Commodore 64 setup, where I have a laptop and cable emulating
a 1541 floppy drive. (Before anyone pounces on this, please don't
start a flamewar about how parallel ports are obsolete, and this
should be done with FPGAs/USB/FireWire/ExpressCard).

I don't have enough knowledge about how these things work to know if
this is even possible, let alone implement it, but I thought it was an
interesting idea.
