while this may not address your Lantastic requirements, the Release 11
Crywryn Packet Drivers will have a packet driver for the parallel port that
uses a "standard" parallel-parallel cable (wiring spec included).

this will allow you to use the FTP stuff, as well as any other package that
can use packet drivers, and you don't need to buy any cards. (unless you don't
have any parallel ports.

once i find the time, i'm gonna try and write a companion for 386BSD.
