Real quickly - can Mac's be thrown onto a standard ethernet LAN switch??
Basically, I've got a bunch of PC's connected to my switch at
home...flatmates getting a second hand Mac and I'm wondering if it would
be
able to go onto the network as well? It will be running Mac OS 8.7

Yep, easiest way would be to get a copy of DAVE. It lets you access Windows
shares through Chooser, and displays the Mac under Network Neighborhood on
the PCs.
