I've thought about that too, but where do I get a slingshot or similar
device?

   I have found out that Resource Management Force has produced the
QuickNet card with is available for the A500 with an RJ45 connector. Their
email address is cbmaus!rmf!danielk@rmf.adsp.sub.org and I have emailed them
(shortly after I posted the question), but have not received an answer yet.
I beleive the *.adsp.sub.org addresses are all dead since C= died. If
anyone knows of a working email address, please let me know.
