It can take up to 128mb RAM (two 64mb DIMMS). "Being part of a network" depends on what kind of a network. It has a "built-in" ethernet port, though it is AAUI (an Apple thing) and will need an adapter to connect to a "standard" RJ-45 10baseT ethernet port. Such adapters can be readily had for $3.00 or so on the lem-swap list. It will have to have some special software to "talk" to PCs on the same network. An application called "Dave" is one such. If you have a router and switch, it can readily connect to the Internet, though it will be a bit on the slow side as it is a bit limited in ability to render graphics pages.
