Yep.  Now on its way to its new owner.  Like I said, it's not perfect for
every application -- in my particular case, I needed something that would
enable me to asynchronously send UDP packets over large IP networks.  The
show stopper was the IP stack -- it's designed as a web server that has a
lot of interfacing ability.  One thing they did that's pretty interesting
is to eliminate the need for a default gateway and ARP protocol -- the SP
simply sends all reply packets to the same IP and MAC address from which
the request was received.  Note that this means if you didn't receive a
request, you've got a problem.  Works fine for a web server, but in my
case I wanted to be able to send a UDP packet to a known IP address.
There is a way to do it but it requires that you know the IP *and MAC*
address of the target host.  As this was going to be a commercial product,
making the user enter the MAC address of the gateway or host was really
not acceptable.  I needed ARP at least, so it wouldn't work for my
particular application.  For many remote control/status applications,
though, it would be fine.
