I've got an old SE/30 that I want to hook up to the Internet. Now the machine has no built in Ethernet card (I've looked and the SE/30 specific ones are like pixie dust) and only has those funky little 8- pin serial ports on the back.
I figured I could just give it a PPP connection from another box IF I could find an adapter from the 8-pin port to a normal DB9 male port, and then stick a null modem cable between that and another box.
Do such adapters exist? Are they still sold? In the UK / EU? What kinds of speeds can the SE/30's serial port support?
I found one prebuilt Mini->DB9 female null modem cable (http:// www.govconnection.com/IPA/Shop/Product/Detail.htm?sku=6503215) but 26 bucks + shipping + UK duty and VAT make that less attractive.
