Actually it's looking like NetBSD might be a good option for this system.
Someone has booted NetBSD on one without cracking the case, and is using a
USB-to-Ethernet adapter. http://www.higuchi-clark.com/iopener/
So, how small can you make a NetBSD distro?

I happen to be lucky and have a few Xircom Pocket
eithernet adaptors so
those will fill the parallel port.
At the moment, I have no Xircom adapters (I'm casually looking for a bargain
on a couple of PE-3s) and even if I had any, AFAIK, they only work under DOS
and DOS derivatives, not any flavor of UNIX. There are pocket adapters that
work, but I have never seen a working one for sale (there was this busted one
at the hamfest...)
