I'd do the ethernet solution. You don't really need an 8-bit ethernet card,
NE2000 cards are supposed to work in 8-bit mode, too.
Then you'd need some kind of networking protocol and drivers. Most DOS network
packages use packet drivers, which are contained in the crynwr package
(
ftp://ftp.crynwr.com/drivers/pktd11.zip) or supplied with your card.
Since my network is pure TCP/IP (and occasional Appletalk), I use the WATTCP
stack for DOS.
Some more DOS/Windows-based solution might be preferable in this case, though,
but that's not my fort?.
