I am glad to hear this :)
Now I can wipe the dust off my old Classic II and use it as an intelligent
terminal :)))

Uhm, do you have another Un*x machine hooked up to the network?
You could use ppp to connect.. thats the way I hooked my Classic up to my
network.

Start pppd on the "remote" Computer (the one with ethernet):

pppd /dev/ttyXX 57600 <ip of the "ethernet" machine>:<ip of the classic>\
proxyarp

On the Classic: 
pppd /dev/tty01 (?) 57600 <classic's ip>:<remote ip>

Worked for me.

So far..
