An interesting bit of technology (imo) which might be of interest to other
IPers.

     From the website at:
     http://www-ccs.cs.umass.edu/~shri/iPic.html

"The single chip computer in the above picture runs the iPic web-server, the
world's tiniest implementation of a TCP/IP stack and a HTTP web-server. The
chip above is a complete micro-computer, and it includes all components of a
complete computer on a single tiny micro-chip (this includes the CPU
(central processing unit), memory, serial port interface circuitry, and
clock oscillator).

"The chip is connected directly to an Internet router, which is essentially
the same as an Internet connection from an ISP. When you visit the iPic
Web-server, by clicking on this demonstration link, (or this mirror), your
web-browser connects to the chip shown in these photographs and the
web-pages you see are sent to your web-browser directly from the tiny chip."
