Does anybody have experience with building a low-cost ethernet interface
for a microprocessor board.  I would like to keep the number of components
to a minimum, and if possible try to avoid as much analog circuitry as I
can.  This will probably limit me to AUI connectors (which is fine) or
possibly 10BaseT.  I would like to build it into part of a home-made 8 bit
Motorola 6803 micro board (don't laugh, the chip costs $5).

Any recommendations would be appreciated.  Please give me an idea of what
additional components would be required (ie. can I avoid the analog circuitry,
does it support/require additional local RAM for bufferring)?  Is there any
good articles in electronics magazines that would help?  Any other comments?

Thanks, Tom
