RAD produce a whole range of tiny routers and similar products which are about the size of a transceiver, you'd have to check pricing tho, I think they're all above $100 but I'm not sure. www.rad.com Steve -- Stephen J.

Does anyone know if there is a device somewhere that is small, cheap, has 1 10mbit (or 100mbit) ethernet port and a small IP stack that enable you to set ip address and default gateway on it (dhcp perhaps?).
I would like to put something like this at some customers to use for pinging to see that the customer is reachable. Cost should preferrably be in the $50-$100 range.
Seems kind of a waste of a parallel port...but you should be able to find 10baseT/parallel print servers for at least as low as $45. I can't think of anything cheaper/smaller with ethernet and IP.
