This is exciting news! There are lots of CP/M C compilers (BDS-C,
Small-C). I had assumed that a CP/M browser for the Z80 was a
near-impossibility. But this is making it sound possible after all.

So, I guess you need something that serves the same function as a modem
(serial-to-phone line converter); but for serial-to-ethernet conversion?
These existed for DOS; but I don't know if they were "WinModem" type
gadgets that depended on DOS drivers to actually make them work.
