I've continued to experiment with different ways to network old Macs that don't have an ethernet port. Especially I want AppleShare to work. After a few days of tinkering, I got my Mac Classic (System 6.0.7 and 7.0.1) to connect via serial and PPP with Slirp: https://metalbabble.wordpress.com/2020/02/08/the-final-frontier-connecting-a-macintosh-se-to-the-internet-with-a-raspberry-pi/
I also have Netatalk 2.2.6 running on a Rasberry Pi (the same RPi running Slirp), both -ddp and -tcp. And I can see the RPi's AppleShare volume in Chooser on my Ethernet-connected Macs, but I can't see it on my PPP-connected Classic. How can I achieve that? Is that even possible?
Normally I use a PowerBook G3 with IPNetRouter acting as ethernet bridge, but also then I can't see the RPi's AppleShare volume. My goal is to have working AppleShare on the Classic when connecting via serial to the Raspberry.
