That's actually a capable little system. With a "real" 68040, 36MB,
2 VRAMs, a 3.5" and a 5.25" external drive, and a moderately fast disk,
it does FTP, telnet, anything I really need for network stuff quite easily.
With an ADB-PS/2 adapter, it speaks to my Raritan and hides on a
shelf pretty nicely too. :)

I might point out that an SE/30 with an ethernet card and 16 or 32MB
of RAM would be just as capable on the internet. The real sticking
point here is that even we have come to define "internet access" by
browser availability and performance.

Or something I've used with an old 68030-based mono Mac laptop - a
SCSI<->Ethernet box. It's been 10+ years since I used one, but I
think mine was made by either Dayna or Asante.
