If your Mac has a micro-DIN serial connector -- I've bought an RS-232- 
to-Mac adapter from Dick Smith some time ago.   ( Yeah, I went to local
Apple centre and the guy there said "we don't have them but Dick Smith
should", can you believe it? :)    This and a null-modem will do the
trick.
Also, FWIW PPP allows you to transfer AppleTalk; SLIP doesn't.
