internet capable PIC

     Hey Folks -

     I thought I saw a PIC 18 processor that had been particularly
     groomed for a role providing internet capability for small
     home appliances and embedded systems.  Is this a real
     processor ?  If it's just some software I can put onto
     any given processor then I imagine that a flavor of the
     MSP430 might work well.

     Any thoughts?

Yes they have a PIC18 with with the controller built in.
They also have an SPI controller with a free stack that you can port to 
the MSP430.
