Ack! Please throw in some paragraph breaks! :-)

Right now, you have two options. Either get an Ethernet card for the SE/30,
or run NetBSD on the PowerBook, and use a ppp connection. For the latter,
you'd probably also want to set up ipnat (Network Address Translation)
so that packets get routed back to the SE/30 right.

I'm working on LocalTalk, but things are going slow. The main problem
is that I'm hoping to finish my Ph.D. this quarter...  :-) But we are
in a position that I think we can have a LocalTalk lkm for 1.3 (I.E.
you won't have to get a special kernel to use it).

Take care,
