Oh, I don't know. Until I got my 7300 I did most of my PPP on a IIsi with
5MB. A little cleverness with NCSA Telnet and Lynx, and I had a "graphical"
web browser (I wrote a program to turn portable anymaps into Tek display
commands, which NCSA Telnet then drew for me). It's just learning to make
do. The IIsi is a nice little machine, I think.

But of the 68Ks, I think the SE/30 is the most useful (to me). I use mine
as a boot server for the IIgses and as the LocalTalk server, after I stuck
a gig drive in it.
