Yes but in that case System 6 won't do much for it either because it
ultimately depends on the hardware, a you rightly say. A 68k Mac
struggles to saturate 10baseT anyway (unless it's a late Quadra, that
can saturate it just) neither my SE/30 or my LCIII(475) come close.

I used 7.6.1 as a desktop/client OS for a while on my LCIII(475) before
I got my Quadra and it was solid there too.

You gonna rob a bank for me are you? I can't afford a router, I deem it
unnecessary as I have all the hardware (with a little purchasing) to do
it now and can save myself �100s and rescue another IIci and a Rocket
and put it to good use.

That's a bit unfair, comparing it to Unix ;). It's not as solid as 9.1
if yo want a modern comparison but it's pretty close.
