I am running the NeXT via a slip connection but not native.
I have a cheap floppy only ibm pc xt (at best). I have an old
ethernet card in it and run Karn code . It is hooked to the
next via the ethernet and etc etc. I suspect that the ethernet
line for the NeXT is a much better way than via the rs232
whose driver is probably less than optimum. All runs well and
there is no pain.
