If you are concerned more about code size than having a full featured TCP/IP
implementation, you might want to look at lwIP
(http://www.sics.se/~adam/lwip/).  I have had a quick look at porting this
to eCos (to the stage of getting it to compile) and it seems relatively
straightforward.  It is a lot leaner both in terms of footprint and RAM
usage than the eCos net package.

You need to use the EL/IX eCos template to get the POSIX compatibility
layer.  The EL/IX specification can be found at
http://sources.redhat.com/elix/.

Cheers,
