Ethernet

There are several different ways to do ethernet. The possibly cheapest involves an pic18f that includes an ethernet PHY. It could be a good idea, or terrible.

DMX

The minimum to make a DMX board, is a board that has a UART that can run at 250Kbps. Microchip has some Application notes that specify a method to recieve and transmit DMX data. See PIC DMX Development
