I already have the disks and everything but is it really worth it to install?

If you've got a spare Mac and some time, why not?

If you can connect it to your network, then it can have DSL, just like any other computer. It's just like connecting any mac to a network. I think that A/UX emulates 7.1, not 7.6, but I bet it's more stable then a regular 7.1 box.
Will you be installing it on your Q700?

Yes I'd been debating this for a month it will go on my Q700 as soon as I get this extra HD of ebay.

Good. Please report any hardware conflicts with the Q700 and A/UX, I plan to install it on one of my 700s (eventually).
