I'm not sure how much smarts I can put in an R8C/20.  The biggest
available one has 64k of flash and 3k of RAM.  I was thinking of using
just UDP - that gives me DHCP, sNTP, and a way to send back
measurements.

OTOH if a tiny TCP fits, perhaps with a tiny RTOS, I can use the same
code for talking over TCP as for talking over USB.  I'll need a way of
storing calibration data anyway.

It would offer symmetry, though.  I can ssh into my furnace already.

Or at least the most overkill.
