Hi all,

There was recently a series of articles dealing with connecting a MAC to
a FreeBSD machine.  It was mentioned that Columbia Appletalk be used.

I'd actually like to try something similar.
What I'd like to do is use a MAC as a terminal to access the FreeBSD
box, which also is running mail and WWW servers.

The BSD box will contain a NE2000 compatible card.
What hardware do I require to connect the MAC to the BSD box so that I
can establish a PPP (TCP/IP) link ?
