Anything computable, that is.  I'm not sure how to plug USB or Ethernet
into a Turing machine.  (Real life computing problems tend to be
interface problems.  Sending an HTTP request first means you have to
interface with the OS so it can interface with a network card that
interfaces with an Ethernet ROM that sends electrical pulses on a cable.
 Turing machines could tell you what sort of pulses to send on the wire,
but couldn't send the actual pulses.)

i.e., you're not going to write a USB driver in VBA, Turing-complete or not.
