www.freertos.org has a free TCP/IP stack for the SAM7X.

I wouldn't mind giving one of the str9-comsticks a go
if they didn't try and charge me double the price for shipping.
Local disti charges even more as they supposedly pay
the inflated shipping cost + customs + markup
(cheapest shipping to Australia is 79 Euros from Hitex)
Pity they don't sell them through digikey (like keil does)
who would only charge me US$30 for shipping.

I haven't been ignoring you all, I've just been busy reading up a ton of ARM
material between bouts of "ordinary" work. Thanks for all the input, sounds
like the key factor for me in choosing a platform is what peripherals are
present.
Now Olimex has gone on a month long vacation and sparkfun doesn't have the
board I'd like in stock. :-( I'll probably go ahead and get something with
network and a hitachi type LCD. The SAM7 thing that I liked had a Nokia
color LCD. I'm thinking that would be fun to tinker with, but a free
available TCP/IP stack and network jack are the key things I want to mess
with right now.
Thanks again. :-)

Other than having used LPC and SAM7s as well as ST ARM, and having
found the support documentation etc. from ST very much superior to the
others .... Then NO, No connection with ST or Hitex.

Almost looks like advertising.... you don't have any connection with

You should look at the STR9 ARM Controllers from ST Microelectronics
as well. They provide quite a lot of software suitable for arm-gcc.
Look at the STR9-comStick which comes with open source TCP/IP
code. http://www.hitex.com/str9-comstick/
Hitex also has a very nice book "STR9 Insider's Guide." which one
can download for free. The STR9-comStick sells for 39 EUR.

Not the one with on chip but... I think you could modify the source to
work with the on chip version. BTW this is a learning/ teaching aid so
I don't know how good the stack will be for commercial use or the
license it has but as a proof of concept, for learning TCP/IP or for
hobby use it should be ideal

it seems that it uses the CS8900A and LPC212x, so no on-chip ethernet.
