AFAIK no ISP uses vintage hardware. So you're going to be connecting to
some modern machine.
What is the difference between :
1) Using a classic to connect to an ISP that allows shell/UUCP access
(with a non-classic at the ISP end), which then speaks TCP/IP to the rest
of the world
2) Using a classic to connect to a modern machine that _you own_ using
UUCP, and then having your non-clasic talk TCP/IP to an ISP (say using
PPP) and thence to the rest of the world

Bah, don't let that serve as an excuse. All
three of those processors
have been added to the list.
On the Endurance thing, how would you score connecting to a modern
machine via a vintage computer running a terminal program?
