Good question!!!
a NetBSD/mac68k on Mac II,x,cx,si still does top .7k/s as ppp-server.
(the si does 3.1k/s as ppp-client)

And then following how should the cables be connected??
~n

btw these cables work for me (sort of):

ZyXEL cable (client tested only 3.1k/s):

RTS/CTS cable (server, .7k/s):

and some modifications as well:
