I have two Quadras that I connected to the Internet.
I used an AAUI Ethernet adapter, and simply plugged it into my wireless router using a regular Ethernet cable. I gave the machines a static IP address with the TCP/IP control panel (System 7.6). I can browse and download files, and I can do old-school Apple file sharing with my iBook.
Browsing is slow, because rendering web pages is slow. Downloading files, however, is not particularly slow. I have achieved speeds of up to 200K per second with the Quadra 650. The Quadra 700 is slower for some reason.
Don't try browsing modern web sites with lots of animations and stuff, stick to simple ones and it will work reasonably well.
