Im probably waaaaay behind on this one, but this looks interesting. An ethernet->serial bridge. Anyone used anything like this on their 64/128?
Or even better: go wireless!

Bruce Thomas of the Commodore Users of Edmonton and Cameron Kaiser of the Secret Weapons of Commodore use an older version of it on their Commies.

Yeah, the UDS-10. Charles Gutman of 8-Bit Designs uses that one, too. They work good for calling out to Telnet BBS's... Unfortunatley, no one has successfully been able to use one to run a Commodore BBS with, forgoing the need for a "PC slave". I know a guy who's running an Atari BBS using one, but for some reason, the Commodore BBS's keep locking the Lantronix up after every caller. Maybe the UDS-1100 will fix this? I don't know...
The UDS-10 (10baseT) and the UDS-100 (100baseT) are earlier generations of the UDS1100 and can be had for quite a bit less ($50-$75 is average). It's worth mentioning that any terminal server will work. I've got a Livingston Portmaster 2e which I've used to bridge a 64 to the Internet. It's handy because it has 30 serial ports so if 29 friends bring their 64s over we could flashmob Quantum Link Reloaded. Jokes aside, this might not be a bad idea for the World of Commodore (http://www.tpug.ca/woc). Hrm.
