No special reason apart from the fact that I do posses one of those.
The usb functionality will not be used, it wouldn't hurt would it?

The goals are to satisfy myself that I can do this simplistic task, then I
will start thinking of adding ethernet, but first I want to know I can 
configure a pic correctly, so slip is the least complicated way in terms
of hardware.

I just checked in the datasheet, it is 8mhz. Would that be ok?
I don't want to complicate my hardware unnecessarily at this
stage, as this is an excercise, not a real project, so I would 
prefere not to have to worry about crystals unless it is absolutely
necessary.
