Cool project! I had a Mac SE a while back that I only finally got rid of a couple of years ago. It did have some weird ancient Ethernet card that had an actual 10baseT interface with the RJ45 connector. I think I managed to get it connected back before I lost the floppy disk with the drivers for it. Like the article says though, the trouble is what to do with it after you're connected.
Even over the fast-ish Ethernet connection, any attempt to browse the web is painfully slow, esp when dealing with a tiny black-and-white screen. That's before even getting into crypto issues with modern TLS and the lack of modern Javascript. Considering that the phones in everyone's pocket these days make vastly better web browsing gadgets, it's hard to see what it's good for, besides a curiosity.
