I'm curious, is there any software available for the Mac that will
make the Mac look like a bone fide' Internet host... over a 9600 baud
MODEM?  Sounds fairly difficult to me since this software would have
to support everything from the packet and transport layers right up to
the provision of a minimal set of Internet services.

I believe there is something for Unix machines called SL/IP which
takes over at the transport layer.  Not sure how this would all fit
together for a Mac though.

Anyone interested in Macs on the Internet?
