PPP is (probably) a better bet than SLIP - I have an LCIII (very similar
machine to the SE/30) running a dial-on-demand dial-up server for me, and
it works fine.

Get your self the PPP-howto (I think you'll find it on www.macbsd.com) and
then by all means come back to the group if/when you get stuck.

Indeed, you're welcome to come back to me, but my email-turnaround time
isn't so good just now... I'm snowed under.
