I had a really easy time of doing ppp over a direct connect between my 
SE/30 serial port and my Powerbook serial port. I just ran IP over it, 
and it was fine. pretty fast too, for a serial connection. I'm pretty 
sure that I pushed it at over 57.6k. I want to say that I broke the 128k 
barrier, but I'm not sure.

Anyway, what can an xterm do for you that telnet can't? 

If you really want full X Windows, not just an xterm, MacX 2.0 is pretty 
cool. It's around $150 though... I convinced my part time job to buy it 
for me (instead of a sparcstation - it helps to have a good tradeoff 8-)
