It's certainly been theorized. However, there is no way to tell MacTCP
that your link is slow and it should adjust it's timeouts.

A better solution would be to interface with MacTCP directly. I suspect
Apple has thought of this and probably has plans to address this in
the future. Bottom line: I would not recommend spoofing with a fake
.ENET driver unless the resulting network connection is ethernet speed or
close (withing a order of magnitude)
