] I think Zilog means they offer sourcecode of a TCP/IP stack, it seems 
] a bit illogical to hardcode that in a CPU since it should be at OS

eZ80 main target group is the embedded software. For such appliances 
(microwaves, laundry machines, cars, smartcards, etc), having a TCP/IP stack 
in hardware can be very interesting... It can make the OS more lean and mean 
which is very important for embedded software.

But ofcourse, having a source code available for a 'new' cpu, so that you can 
build it directly into your embedded OS is also very convenient.
