Another, more likely, possibility is that your inbound mail is broken.

Yes if you buy one of the new machines or upgrade a current 68030.

Yeah, what about it?  Over a year ago Avadis Tevanian, Jr. posted
that he had a working loadable SLIP.  To my knowledge it has
never been released to customers, and we never got a straight
answer on whatever became of it.

Yes.

Yes, if one of the hard disks is a half-height 340MB or (yuck)
105MB.  If you want two full-height internal drives, you can't
have an internal floppy.

I don't know about "better."  It's certainly going to be more expensive.
