Did you write a bit-banger serial port for the Apple? That's what a
buddy of mine did, c. 1984, when we needed to move some data between
the Apple and a C-64 (the C-64 _has_ a TTL bit-banger serial port, out
of the box). We moved individual sectors of Infocom's Sorcerer on
top of a backup copy of Enchanter because I had Enchanter for the C-64
and not Sorcerer. Once we worked out the sector skew for the game
engine, it worked fine.

ISTR doing that with MacTCP 1.x (an addon install, not included
in System 6) and a SCSI<->Ethernet box. I'm fairly certain that
the ethernet box came with System 6 drivers, but if someone here
knows that it flat-out can't be done, then I'm probably mistaken.
I have never tried it with dial-up, if that's what you mean.
