Maybe, depends on the PCI bus uncertainty I mentioned.

Run BeOS. You'll be shocked how much better, faster and stuff your hardware
seems. The run MacOS (up to 8.6) under SheepShaver, which runs MacOS as a
native app under BeOS and as fast as MacOS would run on your hardware
anyway. :-P You can go fullscreen and swich work spaces to go between MacOS
and BeOS.

Yes, if one exists, *and* the PCI bus behaves itself. That is probably going
to be the issue.

Dunno if NE2000 drivers are available for Mac's, but NE2000 compatible it
is.

If you can get a RT8139 card and  driver, you can have 100mbit networking!!
RT8139 is a popular chipset, not NE2000 compatible though.
