that's something of interest to me, because one of my future planned 
projects with LPC is something like that.. but i'm still at the 
beginning with the LPC2132 and there are still many things that I 
need to learn.. (and i got several simpler projects to do before).

i looked at different "ethernet controller" and the one that is 
keeping my attention just now is the coming ENC28J60 from Microchip :

"Microchip's ENC28J60 is a 28-pin, 10BASE-T stand alone Ethernet 
Controller with on board MAC & PHY, 8 Kbytes of Buffer RAM and an 
SPI serial interface. With a small foot print package size the 
ENC28J60 minimizes complexity, board space and cost. Target 
applications include VoIP, Industrial Automation, Building 
Automation, Home Control, Security and Instrumentation."

i see a little board with it at http://www.edtp.com , that should be 
available in July. so the ENC28J60 should be available soon.
but there's still one thing that keep me curious is the so HIGH 
power supply current indicated on the preliminary datasheets (250mA 
max).

do you know approximatively the power supply current needed by your 
MC9S12NE64 ?

and i see here some announcement of future LPC with ethernet 
interface embedded, so maybe that could be another solution for me..

I already looked at the OpenTCP website, but there doesn't seem to 
be any activity on it, the forum is out of work since several 
months..
