Interesting, I may check them out some more.  I was turned off by the lack 
of IP and the fact that people mentioned in the past that you couldn't get
an IP stack on there

Is there actual code that's needed to run an IP layer on there?  I would have
thought something like ppp would suffice if it's a serial device.  Hopefully
you make a big announcement if you do release it as I would be interested 
in checking it out
