I would have thought most Network Interface Cards contained enough 
circuitry to flash an LED :-). The problem might be getting access to 
it,.as it's likely to be hidden inside large chips...

A reciprocal impedance converter circuit. Basically, you connect an 
impedance to one side of a gyratorm, and the other side appears (to the 
rest of the circuit) to be 1/<that impedance>. It can make capacitors 
look like inductors and vice versa.

You can make one using an op-amp.
