Fantastic service - thanks.

All this talk about netbooting got me trying it at home.  Pretty cool
for early 90's tech.  Do you think that any of it would work under
emulation at the GS end - assuming all the wiring and serial emulation-
to-hardware ports are in place?  Or are there speed limitations (the
SCC chip does Appletalk at 230kbps or some such thing... would likely
be slower going through all the layers and out a USB dongle...)?
