Hi All, I'm new to the list, but have been following the likes of the 2400c since it was first released. I finally found one at a reasonable price and took the plunge!
All I basically want to really do with it is use it to surf the web wirelessly. Here's my set-up: Powermac G4 Dual 867 hardwired to a Netgear Router. My wife has a PeeCee laptop with a Linksys wireless PC card. The Comet came with the following specs: System 8.5, 48 MB RAM, 1.3 GB hard disk, 180 MHz processor, external floppy, an external CD-ROM with SCSI adapter, Global Village 56k PC card modem. Apparently, the battery is in good shape. So far, it seems like I'm getting about an hour and a half (at least). As far as I know, this has NOT been cardbus-enabled. So, the advice I'm asking for is how to really optimize the Comet without sinking too much more money into it (again, I just want to surf the web wirelessly...that's about it). It looks like the only browser on the hard drive is Navigator 3. So, what type of PC card do I need that does not require a Cardbus-enabled slot and what else do I really need to do to set-up the wireless network? It may be a pain to try and get any other software onto the computer until I setup the network, so suggestions that would utilize whatever I already have on the hard drive would be greatly appreciated. Additionally, any other suggestions on how to optimize the Comet would be great (optimal OS, etc.). Thanks in advance. ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
