well, ethernet is a HUGE protocol to allow on the TI platform without an offboard processing unit that absolutely kills the z80.  However, I think that my spec just might be close enough in terms of packet design that I can pull it off.  The only protocol that I ever really studied very closely was ethernet, which is what made me design this packet based protocol.  but 32-bit addressing is overkill.  what might work better is 16-bits on a class C address (IP talk now... oops), so that you'd have it on a server for the system.  ti-serv.rpi.edu (?)
I'd like to have it capable of doing that as well, since I'm applying to RPI for fall 98 admission.

If someone could design it so that it talks over standard Ethernet, even if it is
only to other TIs, college kids arounf the world, atleast at RPI, will rejoice and
give up small amounts of money to build'em.
