I used to use Linux on a 486 for a lab server (mail, gopher, www), and
am currently in a lab that uses only Macs.  We have a spare MacIIci 
with lots of RAM and HD space that I can use.  I would like to run 
NetBSD on this machine.

What is the current status of ethernet card support for NetBSD/Mac?  
Are there any cards that work?  I would like to put this machine on 
the building network as a mail (smtp/pop3/imap), gopher (GN) and/or
www (WN, Apache, or NCSA HTTPd) server.  Is this going to be feasible?

Networking via SLIP is not practical in this particular situation.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Ashok
