Networking a Macintosh SE/30

...
   This is
exactly what I meant. OT is not bloat and it works more easily
 and usefully than MacTCP, which IIRC doesn't even understand  DHCP. In
 other words, it too is rather useless today.  
 DHCP is not a must-have. 
I don't use DHCP on my internal network either except a guest range for
people who want to connect to the secured wired backbone (but most of the
guests just use the WiFi on the network DMZ and never see the inside
network). So MacTCP suffices.

That said, I don't have any more System 6 Macs, and the '040 I use most
often (my clock-chipped Quadra 800) is usually in A/UX.
