After looking into this possibility some more over the weekend it definitely seems to me that some kind of Ethernet networking communication using an ENC28J60 can be handled by the SX.  Even if it is very minimal it should be enough to serve my purposes.


Harrison, 

   Thanks for the tips and the encouragement that this may be possible in some form.  The fact that you were considering it assures me that it is not a hopeless endeavor!  I had concerns that perhaps others knew something that I did not about why this could not be done or was not worth attempting.

The Propeller sounds nice though I have not had the opportunity to play with one and do not know how to program in Spin.  I am sure that day will come!  In the mean time, I have not maxed out the capabilities of the mighty SX chips yet.  (Although fitting everything I want into the tiny program space and dividing the processor time appropriately between various tasks has always been very challenging.  I am so glad it is FAST!)

   I am going to take your advise and focus on ARP and UDP support.  That should be sufficient for my needs.
