To be correct, there is no ethernet support in CT - rather K1TTT wrote 
software (nettsr) that replaces the comtsr driver that CT requires.  It simply
packages the com port data in a UDP frame so the ethernet board can handle it.
No handshaking,  or other fancy tcp/ip services, and no guarantee that it will work.
I got it to work on and off here at ka8okh a few years ago,  but abandoned it for
NA serial networking.  I wasn't comfortable with CT/nettsr's reliability.
