Hardware: Low-cost USB<-->Ethernet adapter

["Nicholas Bodley" <user=1375@nabble.blu.org>]

Read about it in the weekly OLPC newsletter; should be of general interest.

Anyone who subscribes to the OLPC newsletter (written by the president of   
OLPC, btw) really needs a glossary! It's thick with unfamiliar terms. 

Zoltan is (afaik) a common Hungarian name. So, where is the company?   
Taiwan. As an amateur internationalist, I find that gently delightful. 

I'm (repeatedly) pleasantly surprised to see the wide variety of   
data-protocol (?) converters; especially when an embedded micro can easily   
fit inside the shell of a connector, all sorts of minor wonders are not   
only possible, but affordable. 

My regards to all,
