Yes you CAN play Marathon (any version) over TCP/IP using Netlink. You have to have a fuxored version that has a modem script that allows Netlink to work over the net. Instead of putting a phone number in, you "dial" up a IP. Once you connect you have tricked your mac into thinking your on a apple talk network. Yes you need a T3, but Cable modem works too, but it just depends on how fast you can connect to the other guy, yes thats right you can only play 1 on 1 yes its choopy, like the game moves in spurts, but its playable.
