 You can use IP over modem with SLIP/CSLIP/PPP, but ftp/gopher/telnet over it
is not an enjoyable experience with multiple simultaneous users/connections.
You don't need to, and you can't anyway, run MacTCP with MacBSD. It'll be
possible to allow users from both the serial and the Ether line to access
these services when a working Ethernet driver is available.

 Get one yourself, it only costs about $2000 or more to set up (plus hardware)
a 56k connection and a few hundred a month to maintain it, provided you have
a local provider B)
