ELKS does support tcp/ip AFAIK.

And uIP is a great stuff for eg Contiki :) but not for ELKS, because it's
FAR-FAR too simple, it victimizes almost everything (size, performance,
features, ...) just for small memory footprint. So it's good for eg a
Commodore 64 situation (or only even a few kilos of RAM ...), but not for eg
ELKS. Probably. But maybe you have got an PC/XT with only 128K RAM or such
;-)

But you can consider lwIP (or something similar I can't remember the name).
However I don't know tcp/ip implementation of ELKS so I don't know it would
worth or not ...
