I currently have a IIfx w/24mb RAM and a 1280x1024 display connected to
my network. It runs Netscape Navigator 3.0 pretty decently, but 4.0x is
quite slow (and very crash-prone). I don't do a lot of surfing using
it, honestly and since 3.0 doesn't know much about modern HTML it
doesn't render sites too well anymore. Still, it's cool to do it just
because it's there. One of these days I'll get my MacIvory running
CL-HTTPD (never did manage to get that to work right) and I'll have the
IIfx/Lispm serve up web pages :).
(I also have an SE/30 on the network and the same basic rules apply,
except that the screen resolution and 1bpp depth is pretty limiting for
web browsing and the CPU's slower so more patience is required...)

I've been told using the compact Macs are an
exercise in futility. But
what about the Mac II's? (original II, IIx, IIfx, IIcx).
I was just curious.
An SE or SE/30 can accept an ethernet board. They're kinda rare, but
they're out there.
