Nope.  The only TI-net thing by ti has been patented.

I couldn't give source out for many reasons.  The source will stay between
Travis and I.

Specs:
Microporcessor controlled
-10Base-T/2
-100Base-TX/FL (j/k)
-Calc Protocall
-Soon maybe TCP/IP stack on DCHP server
-Soon maybe EtherTalk
-compatibility to use an Expander/Extender for storage

I can't give the source out for good reasons.  I might be marketing the
idea.  I have 3 schools that want prototypes, and TI said they wanted to
see it.  (probably because it only works <so far> on the 83 and 86 without
hacking ;)  )

I'll give out more information as it is made.
