i like to see the dc going online again! a broadband connection and some kind of server software to host games and play online (lets see if the coders here can still play with the dc ;D).

maybe some kailera stuff to play emus vs. other players. its really the last thing if miss on my dc....

So what do you think would be easier/better?

A high speed usb connection in place of the modem.
A new ethernet adapter.

To me it seems the usb adapter would be much easier but the ethernet card would end up being more useful... Not sure which way to try and go. O_<

EDIT: Should we maybe start this as a new topic?

if the goal is to get a device for playing over lan/www its the only way to do real client/server aps/games in the future.

usb maybe good for transfering data or play in a lan, i am not a fan of usb stuff when we are talking about network solutions. i often have do deal with this stuff @ work and it really suckz same for bluetooth.

So could we find an ethernet controller IC that would operate at 12.5mhz and then use a flipflop to run it off the parallel port? No idea what kind of speed this would mean. (hoping there is a way to keep it close to the possible 50mbps the port can supposedly handle)
