Yes. The current easy method is to pass requests down a fifo to 
a Linux process that does

        open sockets and rtfifo
        while (1){
                 read data from the fifo
                 write it to the port
                 }

or something like that. There is a more integrated method that one company
has done in 2.2 -- I don't know if they want it known. We would like to 
take the RT-ethernet stuff we have and add a IP/UDP layer soon, but it has
not been completed yet -- that would be useful mainly in RTL - RTL networks.
