That seems actually to be the last revision.  The "current" CaveBear 
link is:

http://www.cavebear.com/archive/cavebear/Ethernet/Ethernet.txt

He talks about the movement of the page here (in 2007!): 
http://cavebear.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=13:the-new-cavebear-website&catid=1:latest&Itemid=28

I say leave it in place with the corrected link.
