hi dave, that is so cool that you got the newton/wavelan working :) question: can you use your ibook as an internet gateway and surf the net on the newton without wires? and does the developer have a web site?
i also trashed my newton's LCD by jumping out of bed and landing on it :P thanks -iain ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Fleishman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "NewtonList" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2002 11:48 AM Subject: WaveLAN success Well, I must admit, whoever that developer in Japan is, THANK YOU. It was not without some work last night, but I was finally able to connect my nearly dead Newt (please recall my recent posts about the cracked LCD--it still works, by gosh!) to my iBook WITHOUT ANY WIRES. I used NCU on the iBook, and my WaveLAN (actually an Orinoco Silver) card in the Newt. The iBook became a software Airport Base Station under OSX 10.1.3, and I was able to connect! I even installed a package or two for kicks. I know he's just around the corner on making the WaveLAN card talk to my Airport Base Station, but I thought this was worthy of noting for the community. It's been nearly four years since the announced impending death of the Newt, and it just won't die, even when dropped! BTW, for those of you who responded to my prior Newt/Palm post, thank you. I tried a week on the Palm and almost threw it out the window of my car. How do people use these things? My iPod is more useful than a Palm!
