RE: IP over appletalk
ci's have nubus slots. Net cards for them are readily available on ebay and
other sources. The standard apple drivers will run most of the network
cards, though Linux may have problems. One of my main Linux (potato)
difficulties has been crashing when it attempts to do anything on the
network besides request a dhcp address. Under macos 7.6 the machine has no
problem recognizing the cards and using them. FWIW, I'm using one Apple net
card and one Asante.
By the way, ci's are scsi, so if you want to get additional space, don't buy
an IDE drive. You can hack the Apple disk utility to format non-Apple
drives, or use one of the third-party disk drivers.

Netatalk is your friend. ( apt-get install netatalk :-) Of course, you also
have to have appletalk set up in your kernel. I believe that the pre-built
kernels do have it in there. The funny part is that you have to set up the
appletalk-ip driver support as a module, which then allows "ip to
appletalk-ip ecapsulation" and "appletalk-ip to ip decapsulation" (straight
from the kernel config) support. If you don't set up the first item as a
module, then you only get to pick one way or the other at a time.
OTOH, does the IIci have nubus slots? If so, then maybe you can find a nubus
ethernet card that is supported?
