Actually, i've just discovered the PIC18F97J60, it seems to have enough IO/ports etc...
I'm also impressed that it has a direct memory bus...

Having to use everything at 3.3V is going to be annoying... but i'll make it work...
I also have the 'fun' of re-visiting the TCP/IP stack and OSI layers from a none microsoft, none Linux point of view... Completely from scratch, none of the crap that comes 'pre-installed'...

Although, what the hell is a TQFP? I know QFP, it's like PLCC with pins on all 4 sides (according to my PCB software)... TQFP????
