I used to run an almost identical server in a drawer in my desk :)

If you get a DSL router with multiple network ports it will block all incoming 
traffic unless you specifically 'port forward' a port to a particular IP 
address on your local network, and when you do that only that computer will 
respond to requests from that port.

Best idea for this is a Dynamic DNS name. This is easiest done via 
http://www.dyndns.org - only problem is that you have to update it everytime 
your DSL reconnects, but that shouldn't happen too often if your DLS service is 
reliable.

>And the server software? MacHTTP?

For MacOS on a 68k yeh that's about your only option.
