Regarding the call for ethernet cards for Mac II:

I'm using the Fastnet III from Dove, and have no complaints.  It supports
several protocols, including TCP/IP.

I found that the software seemed to be the larger of the two problems of 
ethernet connection.  At present, I've found only one program that does
something even CLOSE to intelligent in the way of ethernet interaction.
I will recommend "HostAccess" by Kinetics (Excelan) 415-945-3681.  The FTP
on HostAccess is really great--supports double clicking and shift-clicking.
Can transfer using macbinary, so you can back up a huge hard disk to a unix
host with ease.  Still does not understand transfer of directories, though.
By far the best, and there's no other close, to my knowledge.

Good luck!
Florian.
