Ask Cameron Kaiser for a beta of Hyperlink 2.5, he could probably use
another PAL tester. You can take a peek at

So get a good-looking, small PC :) Truth be told, I'm still looking
for one that fits both my technical and aesthetic needs, but I'm sure
I'll find one eventually.

It's software.

Get two of these ethercards for your commodores and you do. Or get a
$10 card for your pc, or a high-speed internet connection such as ADSL
or a cablemodem -- it's all ethernet.
RB> Just a thought: what about a ISDN-inter- face?
Walk down to the nearest computer shop and order an ISDN modem. RS-232
in one end, ISDN connector in the other. ISDN is only 128 kb/s so a
Turbo232 is adequate. I'm pretty sure they're hayes compatible, so it
should work with any PPP stack, such as LUnix or the Wave.

Internal cards might, but it's not necessary considering the low data
rate.

Details please -- what kind of card? What about IRQs?
