Low-power device recommendation

OK, point me towards a cheapo MC that has 2 serial ports + 1-wire interface. Basic Stamp could work, but it's awfully expensive for it's functionality - Maxim's TINI sells for ~80$ (2 serials + 1wire + ethernet + Java + ssh access + ftp access + godknowswhatelse)

Like ninjas, true hackers are shrouded in secrecy and mystery. You may never know -- UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE.

You might want to take a look at the Ubicom 2022. I think it can do all this (with exception of the interpreters for JAVA / PERL) with it's internal flash and RAM for some $7. You only need to add a crystal. It does have a power save mode that slows down or stops the CPU while a timer can wake it.

They offer an upgrade path to the 3023 that is much more powerful but needs more external components.
