Yeah, but that's only one piece of the puzzle.  I'm talking you take one end 
of a cable, plug it into the calc, and the other end goes into an Ethernet 
port.  You need IP and Ethernet services (TI-sock?  It has marketing 
possibilities ;) for that to work, but simultaneously it'd be GREAT because 
you could check email on your calc from any network port, or chat, or 
whatever, without needing a terminal server connected to the Internet.  
Hell, I guess if you had all that you could even make it dial-up!  I imagine 
it would take a good bit of hardware finagling (at the very least some cable 
splicing here and there), but beyond that I don't know.  Any takers on this 
idea, folks?
