ok...  have a port to plug in the Uther ethernet module.
Z80 drivers for the module, TCP/IP in Z80, ?make? some sort of
protocol for communication between the Apple's 6502 and the
z80...

It would free up RAM for Contiki, and CPU time as well.

Contiki could say "Z80 in Slot5, I request this data: 123.123.123.123/
file.ext, put it at $4000 in apple memory"

Z80 downloads the file and ?DMA?'s it to apple II RAM, and sets a flag
(SUCCESS) which will have a value of 1 for true, 0 for false (data get
failed)
