A Powerbook 1400 talks to a Linux box (and actually hears back)

It was my initial frustration with just getting my Powerbook 1400cs to work at all with the "modern" World Wide Web and Internet e-mail that led me to abandon the project (and the resulting This Old Mac blog for the infinitely greener pastures of Linux and BSD on older, cheaper, more-compliant PC (as in IBM-PC, or Windows and MS-DOS compatible) hardware. But I never forgot about the Powerbook 1400. Sure, I didn't take it out of the bag for over a year, but when I got it in my head that I could use the Powerbook not as a stand-alone Linux box (the only alternative for this vintage of PowerPC-equipped Mac being MkLinux, a distro as dead as can be and not even downloadable) but as a terminal with my many Debian, OpenBSD and various other Linux/Unix setups.
