Powerbook150 Dumb Terminal

My girlfriend has a Powerbook 150 which she has finally decided is too slow for
modern purposes, and has dropped it into my talons. I have seen on the 68klinux
page that the 150 will boot 68k linux, but the monitor and keyboard are as of
yet unsupported, which makes it a virtual dead-end. (I am not in the keyboard
driver writing business)

    I wonder if it would be possible to hook up the 150 to my G3 as a dumb
terminal for YDLChampion. For reference, the 150 has a printer port and a SCSI
port and nothing else. Would I need to buy an ethernet card? Any experience
with this sort of thing out there? Any other recommendations for things to do
with the 150?
