Has anyone put any thought into getting the RCX to output to an Ethernet
interface?

Of course, what I'm really interested in is an entire TCP/IP
stack- Ethernet hardware, RCX Ethernet driver, IP stack, TCP stack, and
a BSD sockets API, but I don't think such a beast exists.

As a clarification, I'm talking about using the RCX as a standalone network
"appliance", circumventing a PC.

Have a look at this site and I think you are on your way!
It's an embedded 10BaseT Ethernet controller using a PIC16C74.
