[Coco] networking

[Hugo Dufort]

A few years ago (back in 2003-2004) I have written a tiny but robust 
HTML parser for an embedded system. It didn't use any complex parsing 
stack, and no regex at all. I don't know if it's been done for the 
Coco3. In theory, you could display HTML documents as text, within 
certain size and attribute limitations (as in the Lynx browser).

Managing HTTP connections would be more of a challenge though. Not 
having to download images, CSS and multimedia means a single connection 
per page displayed (e.g. no parallel connections to manage) so maybe 
this would not be so tough with the single-threaded Coco3.

Having no TCP-IP support on the Coco means that you'd have to program an 
IPX bridge (or another simple protocol).

Projects such as Contiki have targeted 6502 platforms:
