Please forgive me. This one should not have fake HTML in it.

I've recently acquired a SE/30 8Mb with ethernet card and am considering various options to put it to use:
Your SE/30 will run at least system 7.5.5. You'll need the Connectix Mode 32 INIT.
I currently use one as my main file server for a G4 running OS neXt, An 8500 running OS 9.1, a IIFX running OS 7.5.3, and an Intel box running Red Hat Linux.
It is FTP enabled using Stairways' NetPresence to support Linux access. The lady friend also gets access via ftp from her Windoze box and a Mac powerbook running OS neXt.. We talk to each other by posting files on the SE/30.
Would it not be easier and cheaper to install Netatalk on the RH box. You can then point both Samba and Netatalk shares at a common folder. If the older macs are all ethernet equiped they will be able to share the same lan/folder with OS X and windows. Both the classic macOS, OS X and windows will be able to connect via internet amongst others if you wish.
There are several chat clients for all platforms, Hotline would be one ICQ would be another, ect.... Just a costless thought.
cheers
