Well that's exactly what JoyNet is designed for. You can't compare JoyNet
with Ethernet-cards, because JoyNet is hardly fast enough for LAN-purposes
and also doesn't generate an interrupt, which is definately nessacary for a
LAN-implementation. Okay, I admit, in theory it is possible to program a
JoyNet-LAN. But in practise... I think Ethernet is easier/faster/more
reliable.
