Take a look at the Rabbit boards too - the dev kits come with the C
development software and are fairly fast and have large amounts of RAM /
Flash.   I use them in the xAP to C-Bus gateway. The cores can work out
as low as £30 ish for smaller versions with Ethernet, although I use a
larger varaint as it allows me to be sloppier in my coding !
