No, but there is for target synth. You can get eCos to bind a virtual
ethernet port to a linux tap device. The eCos synth process can then
do everything as normal eg talk to a DHCP server to get its IP
address, run a web server, tftp to the linux box etc. There is no
reason why it cannot access a VNC client on linux.

The FreeBSD and the NetBSD stack does not support SLIP/PPP but the
lwip stack does support PPP.
