It's somewhat amazing that it's taken them this long, given that SIS has
been around for ~20 years,
I assume you mentioned the PC Transported tongue-in-cheek. You might be
able to run MicroWeb on it, but it won't be fun. The Transporter doesn't
have a way to access a network card in the host.
MicroWeb (well, actually, the mTCP network stack it runs on) does
support a serial line internet protocol. And the PC Transporter can
access the Apple II's serial ports. However, the PC Transporter starts dropping characters on the serial port above 4800 baud. At that slow a
baud rate, most of your bandwidth is going to be eaten by the network protocol/packet handling overhead.
(I suppose if you were clever and dedicated enough, you could reverse-engineer the shim code that gives the PC Transporter access to the Apple II host's hardware and add network support. Sounds like an
incredibly hairy task even if you are well-versed in both the Apple II and
PC architectures).
