They should work fine with the internet, other than the size of the screen.

Do you want to be able to do video in, video out, use CD-ROM, hook up
easily to ethernet? You should have a least a couple LC 5300s if you want
to do these things.

Image video taping a falling ball against a clear background at the same
time another ball with forward velocity fell off the end of a ledge. Then
input that into a 1/4 screen quicktime movie at 30 fps. Then let the
students move through that quicktime movie one frame at a time. I think
that video in would be very useful in physics labs.
