you want to send it back to me than? I still have the plus, that'll work fine.

Here's the problem with that method.
The pseudo-PPP dialup and regular dialups require the server, not the client to provide PPP services.

I am pretty sure there is a way to provide PPP services over WiFi, just like there is PPPoE, but the ISP isn't a PPP provider.

Furthermore, Ethernet is significantly faster than serial ports are. The fastest transfer rates I observed from these machines was 3.5Mbps, but that's over AFP. FTP is a little more on the slow-side. http://www.applefool.com/se30/moreinfo.html#transferrates

I don't mind having another *modern* machine in the house provide the last link to the internet(would kill the going to starbucks with the PB idea though) really looking for something I can use with the plus to telnet with(got a Zork game going on telehack.com I'd like to play via the plus) guess for now I'll work on using USB/serial to my macbook.

and speed is not much of a concern with the plus and telnet, anything is better than what I had 'back in the day' 300baud woooo.
