I'm in the process of wiring our apartment for ethernet, as we finally have
two machines with it built-in.  Unfortunately, the new machine (UMAX clone)
is in another room, they both need net access, and the only other Mac
that's not a laptop which I can use as a server is the SE/30 running
NetBSD.  I had previously resisted installing an ethernet card in the SE/30
because the only ones I could find would mean discarding the video card.

Will installing an ethernet card in the SE/30, attaching the modem, and
using it as a PPP/ethernet gateway give me much better performance than
what I got with the VICOM Internet Gateway and LocalTalk under MacOS, (2400
bps if I was very lucky)?  And does anyone know of an ethernet card,
currently being produced or not, that both works with NetBSD and allows you
to connect another card to it (my video card)?

Thanks in advance for any ideas, or if someone can suggest a better way of
doing this.
