Help w/ status of sockets and ethernet card

[Judy Scheltema]

A good friend of mine has been out of touch with the net and a lot of his
old friends (he's in an area where the phone service really stinks). He
would like to find out the following information:

What is the status of the implementation of sockets for the 3b1? I saw
some bug reports right after it was posted, but since I wasn't fooling
with it, I didn't pay attention.

Also, can someone tell me where we can locate an ethernet board for the
3b1 and the approximate price?

I know this has been discussed before, so please mail any responses. 
Should there be wider interest than I envision, I would be glad to
post a summary to the net. 

Thanks in advance..
