If you're just talking to other Mac's you can

SCSI-to-Ethernet devices, but they're likely to be expensive unless you get
lucky and find a used one.
I just picked up one from Dayna for $15, and another one for Powerbooks
from Asante for another $15. I can look for more if
somebody needs one.
With ethernet you can talk Ethertalk (Appletalk over
ethernet), TCP/IP, or
others (with the apporiate software).
I need to figure this out, too. I want to get a couple of Apples on the
net at home, but I don't have a TCP/IP stack for them. Was this free from
Apple? Is it part of a specific version of MacOS? In the interim, I was
planning to make my Linux box talk AppleTalk over ethernet.
