Furthermore, what would be required in the way of hardware?  Doesn't
TCP/IP normally run over Ethernet connections or some other high-speed
network connection?  How would you get around the lack of an Ethernet
card for the II--or will this use SL/IP instead?

(My GS is currently tied to my Linux box by a direct-connect serial
connection at 38.4K; I use ProTERM to log in, move files between
machines, etc.  Would there be any advantage to an */IP connection?
If this is really SL/IP, it would seem that there would be no
advantage over what I'm using now since ProTERM already drives the
comm port at full speed.)
