Well, these are probably NICs (network interface cards) on a chip these
days.  (If anyone knows of a cheap simple one, I'd be interested for a
current project.)  Otherwise, you could use PPP or SLIP over the serial
port for TCP/IP.  These must be piles of 68K code on the net for that.

You might want to concentrate on the instruments and data collection
first--worry about networking later.

http://www.circuitcellar.com/ should have an index of back articles.  It
might be a good place to look for ideas.

(The mighty 68000 a "microcontroller"?  In my day we had it rough... :^)
