Found an ethernet card for my 200LX

[Dave Britten]

100 mbit ethernet might be a bit overkill for an 8 MHz 80186, but it works great. I found a Netgear FA411 at the thrift store for a dollar this morning. It has "16-bit" prominently displayed on the label, so I figured I might be able to get it to work with really old hardware. It turns out all you need is lxcic, lxen2216, and mTCP to get up and running! I was able to do a bit of IRC, and telnet to the level29 BBS, and both programs were extremely responsive and usable.

An external power supply is highly recommended for this sort of thing (you're going to be tethered to the ethernet jack anyway, might as well use the power cable too).
