The 630 should have both a Comm slot (not compatible with the Comm Slot II)
and an LC-PDS slot, both of which can hold ethernet cards.

At one point, Linux/Mac68k had pretty good support for the 630 and a number
of comm-slot and LC-PDS ethernet cards, but the project has essentially
died since then, so you'd be stuck with an old kernel if anything if you
went that route.

I don't recall what the status of NetBSD/Mac68k is with regards to the 630,
but no doubt both projects could use some help.
