Hi,

This is my humble opinion about making an Ethernet card with eZ80:

- using the eZ80 on the network card would make possible to get very high speed
  with the Ethernet card *only if the complete TCP/IP operation* be done by the
  eZ80;
- making such card allowing only one socket is a big waste of resources, even
  on monotask operating systems like MSXDOS;
- it's like "killing a fly with a cannon"; the eZ80 has enough power to control
  the entire MSX, and not only a simple TCP/IP stack;
- such card will not be cheap; the eZ80 CPU is somewhat expensive;
