EcoMenu at http://mdfs.net/Apps/Networking/NetMenus/ uses a text
file call !DirInfo in each directory with a description of the
directory contents and filename to build a menu from, along the
lines of:
^,Previous Menu
JSW,Jet Set Willy
REPLOAD,Repton
SABRE,Sabre Wolf

As long as CAVE uses the standard NetTx and NetRx calls, and the
network implmented is a network, not a remote filesystem, then yes.
A simple way of checking is to run CAVE on an existing network with
and run NetMon to see what sort of packets flow past.

MUGINS (http://mdfs.net/Apps/Networking/NetGames) would work, I've
already tested it on A5000s linked via Ethernet.
