[Coco] networking

Nope. Not mis-remembering it...

"James Dessart ported Contiki to the CoCo Color Computer." ( 
http://skwirl.com/coco/ )

http://www.contiki-os.org/community.html

But, I think James gave up on his port, and it is not currently a supported 
platform.

I am pretty sure you are mis-remembering it.  There was someone who
declared that he was doing such a port, but I think that fizzled-out
long ago.
