I'd use near anything.
Oftentimes, depending what's on the machines to start with, all I'll have is a default install of something ridiculously lightweight (Netscape 2 on an 020 anyone?) and hook it up to the Pro with a webserver running and serving my old mac archives as an apache-only folder listing.
It works just fine, and a long as everything is presented in a tree much like apple's old archives, there's not too much displaying at once. A couple hundred items in a folder works usably. With age-appropriate simplicity in the html and no (or only very basic) scripting, there's no reason it wouldn't serve everything from an '020 up just fine.
FTP is another world of efficiency higher though, and I'm more likely to use it on the slower machines. Any way of doing an anonymous login read-only ftp for the slower ones? Worked for us in the '80s!
