[Coco] Portal-9 IDE

TCP/IP is doable on a Coco if and only if you off load as  much one 
can. Any of the all  in one EMAC chips t hat has the MAc address, 
and physical transport  hardware is preferable. All you have to do is 
write code to control the chip and provide  memory for the buffers. 

What I was looking at was the MC9S12NE64 from Freescale. This  
has all the hardware on it. The sample code to do UDP/IP takes up 
only 7.8K of the internal 64K flash and about 3.2K of the 8K  
internal ram. It will work on a dialup system to get minimal 
functionality.
