Actually, you only need about 4 or 5, if you use the serial interface. A guy who
 works at the
company who designed part of that chip, iReady, has made a small webserver with
a 16F84. Check it

Current Mouser catalog has this;  Page 40.  20 interface pins on it,
so
you'd need something larger than a 12C508 <G>

iCHIP TCP/IP PROTOCOL STACK LSI
iChip S7600A is a completely self-contained, drop-in solution for any
device requiring networking connectivity and will provide a high
connect
speed with low power consumption integrating full TCP/IP, PPP, and UDP
protocols, and 10K of on-chip SRAM for those protocol supports.
The chip is based upon iReady's Internet Tuner. technology

Features:
* TCP/IP ver.4 / UDP / PPP
* 2 General sockets
* Low clock rate: bit-rate4
* Low power consumption: less than 3 mW
@ 256 kHz operating speed
* 68/80 (MOTO/Intel) MPU bus interface
* UART Interface
* Wide operating voltage range 2.4 ~ 3.6V
* Stand-by mode

MOUSER STOCK NO.
628-S7600A   48 TQFP   TCP/IP protocol stack   $10.65

Interesting!
