How many eight-bit micros are there with TCP/IP
implementations?
I can only think of the C64 and the MSX.
For the C64, there are AFAIK two implementations. One is a "normal" C64
program, with some clients for telnet, IRC and FTP, IIRC. The other one is a
UNIX look-a-like called Lunix, which will een handle ingoing telnet calls on a
slip line.
I believe both are available at
http://www.heilbronn.netsurf.de/~dallmann/c64.html
As for the MSX, the one implementation I know of is
UZIX, which is about as
close to an eight-bit UNIX you can get. Its homepage is available at
http://www.dcc.unicamp.br/~adrcunha/uzix
I've heard some talk about a TCP/IP project for
the Spectrum, as well.
Then there is the Ethernet card for the Apple II. Which protocols does it
support?
Well, Zilog is _heavyly_ marketing Z80ish CPUs for network
applications - check the eZ80 (no joke) pages. You'll get
not only a stack, but also most basic application like
(simple) web servers ready from the shelf.
