The message I wrote about connecting macs via their serial ports just as you asked, and that is the way to go. However you should not use the modem port, use the printer port because the modem port not as fast as the printer port. Other than that localtalk (serial) networking does work. Like I said, I am using it right now on all of my compact macs.

It is possible; I did it personally with a couple of mac IIci comps... You need the localtalk-to-ethernet bridge software, (freely available from apple) unless you have a hardware bridge. The link to that software is here:

It worked well with me.

Your terminology was rather clear. If I recall correctly, MacIP is TCP/IP encapsulated in AppleTalk. AppleTalk can be used with the serial or ethernet ports (LocalTalk refers to serial, EtherTalk refers to ethernet). It sounds like the proposed solutions will work.
