Please add the CP2200 to the list of devices under consideration. I did just look it up and it is comparable in features to the CS8900A. With a brief search, I might be able to buy CS2200-based ethernet cards and harvest all the components needed off them quite economically, for example.
I am a little disheartened that ethernet on the Qx0 is not used by any QDOSMSQ* versions.
