That's actually not entirely true: mehinted at the ease of playing network games with players on real machines. Also, there are a lot of other programs of hysterical value that use TCP, which is obviously not {,directly }covered by either IPX or Hayes modem. And honestly, emulated network setups w/ tap(1) are just easier to monitor, debug, and generally play with. Sometimes, the follow-the-instructions, batteries-included stuff just doesn't cut it. In this case, the ne2000 emulation forms an escape for such occasions. --zeurkous. -- Friggin' Machines!
