IN#2 will hook the input vector to the serial card so that incoming data
can be input as if from the keyboard. In this case you only need PR#2
since you want to "PRint" to slot #2 (the Super Serial Card, i.e. data out
only).

You definitely want to get an Apple ][ Workstation card and connect to a
Mac over AppleTalk, and then go ethernet from the Mac to whatever. Was
there ever an ethernet card for the Apple ][?

I have no idea if the TCP/IP stack works on the Apple ][ at this point.
