Well, i don't know if this will be of any help, but...

    I work on a GPL'ed project that connects a PIC 16F877 to an ISA NIC.
The total cost of the project is much less than US$ 30,00 because you
only need a crystal, a pic and an old nic.

    It implements icmp, ip, tcp, and a very simple web server that
stores pages on pic's flash memory. We're working in many improvements.

    If anyone is interested in helping development, or just using, here
is the url:

    http://picnic.sourceforge.net/
