ethernet operates at 10 megabits/sec.  the calculator isn't capable of
communication anywhere near this speed, so you would need an external
processor to buffer and transfer information across the network at higher
speeds.
if you're going to have an external processor, you might as well put a
tcp/ip stack on it and anything else you can, both to speed things up and
allow more space on the calc.  in fact, you would probly be better off
not having the calculator at all and just using a real computer.
