Internet-ready µP available? Leo Meyer 03-26-06

Hi all,
I'm just wondering whether there is a µP or µC that has Ethernet I/O
connections, a built-in TCP/IP stack and configuration utility (e.g. for IP
address) and some logic I/O pins.
Might use it for switching things on and off via the Internet.
Does anybody know something like this? Or is there a simple solution with a
couple of ready-made ICs and not too much programming?

Regards, Leo

Take a look at the Lantronix Xport.

We've used this in a few of our products, and it just works. If ever
one fails, I'm going to open it up and see how in hell they manage to
jam all that stuff into an RJ45 connector shell.

They sub out all the construction to the Keebler elves.
