gdb over ethernet network support for ECOS RAM application


I'm running RedBoot on my target (powerpc 860T based) from flash, which
has both serial
and network (TCP 9000) support for GDB. When RedBoot loads an ECOS
(v1.3) RAM
application, what's the best way to configure the ecos ram application
to have support/ 
maintain support for GDB over the network/ethernet (fec) , as well as
serial? 
 
>From what I understand it looks like RAM applications are only supposed
to inherit 
serial gdb functionality?  Although the Redboot documentation says "ecos
contains
special network sharing code to allow for this situation". I didn't
notice anything at the
ethernet (fec) or IP stack level. Have I overlooked this? 
 
One thought I had on doing this was to merge in the Redboot RAM
functionality into  
my application.  This wouldn't maintain a gdb session over the network
from the ROM
Redboot, but would give gdb support over the network in RAM application
at least. 
 
Thanks for any help!
