I have thought of this option too, but I turned it down because of two things:
The Quadra is "clockchipped" from its original 33MHZ up to a modest 50MHZ, and its serial ports stops working above appr 40MHZ :(
(the Ethernet card still works fine tho)
And, what IP adress would the Falc have in my LAN, same as the MAC? Would the router "see" that there is two computers on LAN port 4??
Hmm, if that would work, and the MAC passes the right data on to the Falc, and still work as a webserver, then it IS an option. Pity tho, I'll have to speed the MAC down to less than 40MHZ... :-/
Since the LAN port on the Falc is nothing else than a cloning of the MACs modem port(RS422), the best would be to plug an original Apple serial cable in there, eh? RS422 is a bit faster than RS32, and HSMOD7 gives me the option to select LAN port, so that should work I guess...
Just one issue; How on earth do I tell the MAC to route??? In the modem settings I selected 'modem port' and 'Nullmodem 115200'. Now, how do I route this on to the LAN card?
