That would be AWESOME especially if you can differentiate between
hardware cable differences if it's say an old notebook with no ethernet
but 9 pin serial, vs an old mac with whatever serial is on it ( i know
nothing about pre g3 macs at all, i have a imac dv running gentoo
gnu/linux but i don't think that will help. so yeah, a howto for
beginners on slip / ppp to connect ethernet-less machines to the net w/
some lookout for differences in cables needed for different hardware,
would be AWESOME, and would deserve to be posted somewhere. i have
hosting space if you need it, though i imagine there is a better place
but I can definitely offer that. I run my own webserver and I have a 5
Mbit connection. Anyway, THANK YOU, and talk to you soon...

also, does anyone know what this machine would be worth on ebay? I am
going to keep it, I am just curious what a powerbook 250 with 540 mb hd
and 57 mb ram w/ duodock, keyboard + mouse, and 17" (I think) nice color
monitor. ??

and one more thing: what is the final word? are these not needed to be
borrowed anymore? I will definitely try to get it going, I just don't
have any idea how to do it yet, as i have no experience w 68k macs nor
linux on them no serial connection to the net except with a modem. :)
