There are dinky little devices with an Ethernet connector on one end and a .1" spacing pin header on the other for a serial port.
In between is some amazingly small technology that connects the two. What they do is enable just about anything with a serial port to connect to a TCP/IP network. They just pass the data through, "wrapping" and "unwrapping" it with the TCP/IP packet data. Some folks on the TI-99/4A list are using them to connect to their broadband internet routers for text only "websurfing" and send-receiving e-mail. I don't think anyone's yet tried setting up a web server on their TI, even with a SCSI hard drive. ;) It will be total Fandemonium, Summer 2005!
