RE: Re: Interfacing With Ethernet

[Frost Neil <Neil.Frost@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ian,

As I use xPL more and more I realise that this device would be invaluable.

I only wish I could make ukha2004 to see it all together... :(...

Anyway it sounds great... keep up the good work... (that's not meant to
sound patronising....)

Neil

Cheers Kevin - it has been an incredible investment in time, and I doubt I
would have gotten this far if I had realised how long it would take up
front!

Yep I have used a combination of the TCP/IP lean code, the PIC Ethernet
Stack 9basically the same code tweaked about a bit) and the source code
from
the EDTP site mentioned earlier on.

For hardware, I started with a Proton.net board, and now have a working
breadboard wired design. I'm hoping to have a proper PCB before UKHA2004,
but (as you know!!) these projects tend to happen on a very pedestrian
(almost glacial) pace..

Ian.
