Are you just wanting to do TCP/IP? Take a look at Seiko's iChip - I hear an Ethe
rnet version is in
the works. It has a complete TCP/IP stack on the chip. A PIC-based project invol
ving the Serial PPP
version is available at http://www.mycal.net/wsweb/ - this guy works fo te compa
ny that designed the
iChip.

You might try looking at the CS8900 from Crystal Semiconductor - I've
seen
micros (a PIC17C-somethingorother) connected to ethernet and
performing
simple UDP data transfers with these before, though I've never done
it myself.
