Also, just saying there is a TCP/IP stack implemented doesn't mean it is
a good implementation. Our experience with lwIP was interesting: several
major bugs in the stack were uncovered when we started using libcurl
against it. And these were bugs you would not have expected from a
fairly mature stack, and we weren't even stressing the stack (sequential
HTTP requests with a single easy handle).

I would talk to the support engineers for your GPRS modem to find out
what types of network applications have been deployed on that stack,
before you march forward with confidence.
