I do hope that prosit will be finished and be better somewhen. It's a real
interesting project.
I think it would be good to just have a kind of multitasking system but
the AMS does not allow this.
I've worked a lot with AVR uCs last time. I haven't made a real big project
but I saw links for a multitasking systems in AVRs.
When I compare AVRs with the TI I simply cannot imagine that it's not
possible. I think you should deactivate the AMS, maybe then it would 
woek.

This is my biggest problem at the time.
Maybe you could give me a hint (if you know something about TCP/IP
and also the fragmention mechanism, RFC 755). Do you think it would
work if I would base the stack completely on the interrupt handler
routine?
