Hi Everyone.. I'm working on exactly that in my free time.. Based on a CS8900A. The idea is I'll have a serial interface and you send it commands to open TCP connections or listen for incoming connections or UDP packets etc, then you can send a command to transmit or receive data on open connections/sockets. Currently have it doing ARP, ICMP (ping) and most of UDP. I'll let you all know how I get on.
