The best (by FAR) solution to this and similar issues, is for a certain un-named BBSer to get off his butt and finish what he started last year, namely a USB slave implementation on the player that emulates a network adapter.

That way, plug the Empeg USB into a host computer, and the Empeg pretends to be an ethernet adapter. So the host (Linux, Windows, Mac, ...) can simply send TCP/IP packets out "through it" to communicate with JEmplode, Hijack's webserver, etc..

Apparently This Person even had it mostly working before it got abandoned. It would really be nice for them to make their code available so that someone else could polish it up and get it going for the rest of us.

Cheers
