Yep. Credit should go to Adam Dunkels who mentioned that it'd be
possible for uIP to do something like that. I looked at the server
source and noticed that it just needed less than 10 lines of code.
Perl rules for this kind of thing

I was thinking html -> basic listing :) But yes, I intend to implement
an ascii text reader so that you can view docs. Having the server send
plain text when you load an URL is dead simple. The current test
program I have just uses lynx -dump to produce it, but I don't want
lynx to be a requirement so I'll have to implement a small HTML
stripper and text formatter before I can include it.
In a similar vein I implemented image loading yesterday. load
"http://www.cnn.com/headline.jpg",6 produces a runable interlaced
bitmap. The only problem is that I currently don't have a way of
making it not do the conversion -- if you're copying files you want
the jpeg file, not the converted image.

The current drivers are hardcoded to a clock doubled 6551 at $DE00, a
la SwiftLink/Turbo232. This is very simple to change, it's less than
20 lines of assembly code. Groepaz has sent me the code for using the
Retro Replay Silver Surfer interface, and as Marko says it shouldn't
be too hard to support his cassette port interface.
If you want to take a peek at the code, it's online at

PS: I'd like to get started on the C128 mode driver, but I don't have
a native assembler. What's a good one? I'm used to Turbo Assembler
on the C64, and something that can assemble to a REU bank would be
great. And where's a good spot to put the driver? $1c00?
