[Coco] Ethernet Port Cartridge for the Coco 3

[Robert Hermanek]

You know, whenever this subject comes up, I agree that implementing TCP 
would be impossible.  But if the ethernet hardware was possible, why not 
just implement UDP instead?  If I had a udp-only ethernet catridge 
plugged into my coco3 I'd be one happy guy.
