Answer on your IIgs questions:

Supposedly, yes you can use the IIgs with AUFS, although I don't do that
myself.  I use my IIgs in conjunction with my Mac IIfx running File
Sharing under System 7, and this works too.

No, there is no IP implementation on the IIgs...yet.  Myself, Paul Benson,
and Todd Whitsel have promised to look into this and we have some code
we can port, but due to our busy schedules, this hasn't been started.
I would like to see some headway on this by the middle of next month
sometime.  Of course, there is no way to get Telnet if we have no TCP/IP.

If you choose Appletalk, you will at least be able to print to laserwriters
on campus, mount file servers, and be a peer client on the net for any
future software.  Apple might surprise us this summer with additional
net functionality for the IIgs, who knows?  If you choose the TTY line,
you'll get terminal services, and not much else.  Is it possible to get
both somehow in the interim?  Either that or string a wire from an adjacent
room that isn't using their jack?  Can this be done?
