I have a Wallstreet with Mac OS 9.1 that uses my cable modem wirelessly.
Here are the key parts:
- Netgear MR314 802.11b wireless router with 4-port Ethernet switch
- Lucent WaveLAN Silver PCMCIA card
I chose the Netgear because I consider the Netgear brand to be high quality
and reliable. The MR314 also routes AppleTalk packets which is necessary for
me. I also wanted the 4-port to connect non-wireless machines on my LAN. The
MR314 has a web interface for administration but is mostly plug and play.
Oh, and it was pretty cheap, too. $60 after rebate.
I chose the WaveLAN card because it will work with my Newton and my
Wallstreet. It is also cheap to acquire on eBay ($35 for mine). A bonus that
I did not discover until after I bought it is that it can use Apple's
built-in Airport driver. Presumably, this would not be supported in earlier
systems like 8.6 and possibly 9.0.
I think these items are available even cheaper now and you should be able to
"go wireless" for less than $100.
