snyone know if it can be used with a TCP/IP stack for websurfing etc with an coax./ethernet adapter?

Bad news Im afraid, Arcnet isnt Ethernet so you cant just use an ethernet coax to rj45 adaptor to hook it to a ethernet network.
And while TCP/IP could be transmitted over it no problem you would need a PC with an arcnet and an ethernet card in to act as a bridge between the two networks.
Arcnet pre-dates Ethernet, is much slower, etc.
On the up side a A560 isnt a card you see every day so well worth keeping. :)
