There are several implementations of color forth available from Chuck, Jeff,
Sean and myself all linked at

Re tcp/ip, not a lot to say. I did a commercial UDP stack for a RTOS system
about 10 years ago. Very specialized code tuned to the network chip (a National
Lance 7990) on a propriatory 68030 VME bus Forth. Not really very useful.

Some people use Forth on DOS, Windows and Linux for the OS provided networking.
Working with a network socket is about as complicated as working with a file.

Or you could roll your own. A micro TCP/IP stack, written in C, can be found
at:
http://dunkels.com/adam/uip/
Use that as a starting point and tune to your specific NIC and application.

Terry
