Which newts will support this card? -=Dennis=- >Well, folks, it appears the holy grail has been found! I sat in the >bathroom with my still-broken upgraded MP2000 while my kids took >their bath tonight, and the water was cold when I finally picked my >jaw up off the floor. I spent a half-hour, WIRELESSLY retrieving >e-mail, surfing the web, and doing a very lengthy backup of my Newt >with NCU. > >Basic details: the Alpha2 driver found at >http://www.ff.iij4u.or.jp/~ngc/eng/newtwave.htm >works with my Orinoco Silver, an iBook running 10.1.3, NCU running >under Classic 9.2.2, and an original Airport base station. I can >provide further details, but I suspect we will see a run on the >wireless cards on e-bay now! I set up the connection as a DHCP >connection, obtaining an IP number from the Airport, and voila! On >the internet! Very, very fast, too. It appears about the same speed >as 10BaseT ethernet, but I have no utilities to determine this. My >previous posts reported being able to connect peer-to-peer to my >iBook, but this time, it's direct to the Airport, iBook not >necessary. The only thing I could find wrong, if you can call it >wrong, is every time I connected anew, it assigned me a new IP >address, one number greater than the last time. It may have more to >do with the release of a DHCP lease on the Airport than anything to >do with the Newton, though. Who cares, though. > >It's very strange walking around the house with my Newton, being able >to check e-mail, do a Google search, and flip channels on my TV! It >has made my decision to stick with my Newt all the more sure. I will >be using Palm Desktop under Classic until there is a way to synch the >Carbonized version to the Newt (if ever), but I like the Classic >version better, as the Carbon version is very slow to type in. > >I'll field questions now, but thanks are in order to that Japanese >developer who has spent what I'm sure is an enormous amount of time >working on this driver. > >Dave >-- > >-- >NewtonList is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... > >Shop buy.com and save. <http://lowendmac.com/ad/buy.com.html> > > Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> > >NewtonList info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/newton.html> >Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/newtonlist%40mail.maclaunch.com/> > >Using a Macintosh?
