<br>
</span> Would there be a network interface? I can make an object memory<br>
with a network-based REPL (based on, for example, web services or<br>
telnet) that would fit in either the FLASH or RAM. The virtual machine<br>
still needs paring, and I would like some pairing on that. :) Currently<br>
the VM would take up almost all of the FLASH, but there's still lots<br>
that can be left out.<br>
