So what are the chances of making this work with Uthernet too?
They are good, and I've been keeping that in mind. There's no change
required at the server end; it's already in place. The trick is going
to be the driver size. The IP stack isn't skinny. Maybe it could all
stuff into $800-$1fff...
Maybe it can be an abbreviated IP stack to just transfer the packets
back and forth? Have some initialization code that can be unloaded?
I have some basic Uthernet sniffing code left over from VM02...
That's a good idea. With pre-initialization, we'd lose flexibility, but
we could eject everything but what's needed for UDP. It would probably
entail building two stack versions - the usual full one, and a
stripped-bare version that just took the now-digested configuration
block. This is definitely turning into a loader plus relocated driver
kind of affair.
