My IIGS shares my ADSL connection with the Macs in my home. Using that
LANceGS ethernet card, it was relatively straight forward. There's
actually an article on doing this very thing in the most recent issue
of Juiced.GS.

I don't currently have Appletalk networking running with my GS, I tend
to use ftp to transfer files via ethernet. The LANceGS and Marinetti
really make it possible to do some cool stuff.
