Sylvain Ferrand from France has made a Web server that you could build and stuff in your pocket. No hard drive, monitor, CD-Rom drive etc. Just a handful of components and some code. Take a look at his site for the schematic and components you need.
“The ENC28J60 is a single chip 10mb Ethernet controller easy to drive by a microcontroller with SPI bus. It’s a cheap low pin-out (28 pins) chip available in various package including SPDIP, so it’s a good choice for the electronic hobbyist.
The chip is pretty new and it’s difficult to find informations about it. In this web page I will try to compile informations gleaned over the web about this chip.”

Sounds like a cool project. I actually have some ENC28j60’s in my basement that I never used. Yay for free samples.
