using spartan 3E starter kit for CAN bus probe ?

Hi experts !

in your opinion, is it possible to build a CAN field bus probe (simple app. for edu. ; needs only to display Id and data , no CANopen objects) with the spartan 3E starter kit + ISE and EDK ?

1) Does is have enough bram ? and mips ? ... ?

2) The minimalistic system should be build around a picoblaze soft processor for data display to lcd and

CAN controler (is it reliable ?) How much work is it for, say, a software developper new to fpga design (already done an I2C slave node and Quadrature encoder for spartan3)

3) Is it realistic trying to implement a uclinux (as murakana.info) , plus an IP stack and some kind of httpserver to publish the CAN data as a web app. ?
