Interesting.  At this past weekend's R3PLAY show, I was talking to
Winston (of World of Spectrum / Stairway To Hell) who's built an
ethernet and TCP/IP stack for the Spectrum.  He's been demoing it
recently at various shows - and even got pictured on The Register
round-up of the Vintage Computer Festival - by showing a Spectrum
twittering away, live.

He's talked in the past about porting his stack to the beeb, but I
think he needed some help with the beeb 6502 code:

Unfortunately, it's a bit out of my skillset, but maybe he'll hook-up
with someone eventually.  It would be good to see a beeb directly on
the net ...

Peter.
