That's actually not entirely true: mehinted at the ease of playing
network games with players on real machines. Also, there are a lot of
other programs of hysterical value that use TCP, which is obviously not
{,directly }covered by either IPX or Hayes modem.
And honestly, emulated network setups w/ tap(1) are just easier to
monitor, debug, and generally play with.
Sometimes, the follow-the-instructions, batteries-included stuff just
doesn't cut it. In this case, the ne2000 emulation forms an escape for
such occasions.
