Per, I have been reading Adam's white papers about 8 bit tcp/ip stacks and
the tradeoffs required .... is your stack a full implemenation and or what
trade-offs are you making?

The hardware IP stack of the w3100a is limited to 4 concurrent sessions ...
the RAW MAC mode of the 3100a will support what ever the upper software
stack will support ...
