[Coco] SitePlayer Telnet

[Andrew]

All,

Has anyone ever tried one of these (or anything similar) with the CoCo?:

It seems like it is a serial<->ethernet proxy server in a very small 
(and fairly inexpensive) package - the OEM version starts at $29.95, but 
the most likely version to use is the assembled "SitePlayer Telnet 
System", which is $79.95 and has all the parts (carrier board, etc) for 
actually hooking up to serial, ethernet, and power ports.

I was just looking at this device as a possible way to get the CoCo "on 
the net", and was wondering what people thought. It certainly isn't a 
proper NIC and TCP/IP stack (which I am sure we all want), but it might 
be a nice stopgap system (maybe no worse than a serial cable to a PC 
running proxy software - although that solution might be cheaper).
