BNC uses 2 wires.  One shield and one data.

you would have to be a good programmer to fit a TCP/IP packet driver.  It
has been done on the 8x calcs.  It just isn't on BNC.  Also, I don't think
it is ready to release

You wouldn't be able to do much with the PIC to create a protocall.  The
PIC could scan each packet for one that belonged to the calc, but thats
about it.  It could be done, but...

The AVR would be a better choice.  That is what I used.
