I am also looking at FreeRTOS, but for a STM32 microcontroller.
I would think the way to go would be to write a standard TCP/IP sockets interface layer to the underlyng vendor specific network calls - unfortunately I have very limited time to look at this myself, it will be a low priority task. any thoughts?

Btw Eric, why do you think UDP would be more appropriate than TCP?
While not being Eric, I would argue that UDP is much simpler. Fire-and-forget instead of connection handling, buffering, re-transmitting, ...
For embedded applications on a limited OS or without OS (think FPGA et al.) that don't have huge amounts of data, periodically sending a UDP message to a configurable address/port is about the most simple and robust thing you can do.
