Ian,

Hi...

I assume you have been looking in into the iosoft module

<a href="http://www.iosoft.co.uk/basic.php";>http://www.iosoft.co.uk/basic.php</a>

I was considering a purchase of the source code a few months ago,
but then I got diverted into uCLinux and eCos etc.

The module listed above is new, and it certainly would make an ideal
platform to easily develop IP based PIC projects.

At 169 GBP not a bad price for a dev board, and if you design a
custom PCB with 'just' the RJ45, PHY, 8019AS, PIC18F, a few Io
lines, and Power-over-ethernet '802.3af', you have an compact,
flexible module for many IP based applications.

If you (or anyone else for that matter) plan to buy one let me know,
there is a discount for 2, and 5 quantities!!!

QTY 1 = 169GBP
QTY 2 = 150GBP
QTY 5 = 135GBP

Thanks

Stephen Welsh

That's a Realtek 8019AS, which seems to be the Ethernet chipset of
choice for small MPU systems... as the component count needed to
make them "do stuff" is incredibly small...

the fact that this is *another* ethernet capable product using that

an 18F series PIC, with some picbasic source for implementing IP in
a modular way.. so we only need to support UDP, not TCP as well and
can save a bunch of space...
