Unfortunately, since I have a business legacy account making the change would instantly kill my e-mail address. Is there a utility that would scan my e-mail address book (or even my inbox) and send a "My e-mail address is changing to blahblah< at >blahblah" message to the folks listed there? I'd hate to have to sit down and send a reply to everybody I've corresponded with for the past umpty-ump years one e- mail at a time...

It appears that incoming traffic is being blocked (responses to outbound traffic are working), but I've been sick the last few days and haven't had a chance to troubleshoot. I'll be on it tonight and am scoping out switching ISPs if necessary. I'll keep you all posted.

Nifty! But I don't have a way to transfer them; I see (from searching the archive) that Binhexer would do what I want, but the site it was available from is no longer up, and I don't see a replacement site. Any ideas as to how one might find this program?

How? Think about this: 1) A PCMCIA ethernet card in your Newton 2) An Ethernet Wireless Access Point (similar to a Motorola WA840G) configured as a Wireless Client 3) Connect the Newton via Ethernet to the WAP using DHCP You have essentially created a WPA2-PSK Wireless to Ethernet Bridge for your Newton. Admittantly, a little un-wieldy and more wires than wireless... But it does open up the wireless spectrum a little more now, doesn't it?

I'm really tempted to go for the wireless, since I could use it at other places, but I have a hunch that the card with a dongle would be more "reliable", although it would tether me to having to "plug in" somewhere. I have a Linksys wireless setup going at home, so I'm thinking that I should be able to test and troubleshoot wireless there. I'm still waiting for the arrival of my Keyspan USB adapter to connect the Newtons to my G4 Powermac. In the meantime, I've downloaded NCX (need to upgrade to Tiger now-have DVD), so my goal is to have the right card chosen and acquired (probably ebay) + software installed which will give me Newtons customized to our needs by Christmas. When I read about all these applications available on unna, I get pretty psyched up. Can't wait to load an ebook, some backdrops, etc. ...much to do and learn! Thanks, G.R.

It is very uncooperative, there are few places it connects at, and my machine at least often has to be restarted to get anywhere at all. I am sure we all have far smoother ways of getting onto the internet, and yet it is such fun to see that page on the screen with the word "sending" appearing at the top. It somehow makes up for it all, but I cannot help thinking that there is something strange about us for persisting with such a difficult customer.

Here is the result: http://www.pda-soft.de/memorycard1.jpg http://www.pda-soft.de/memorycard2.jpg Just in case someone is inclined to find some datasheets and check if this card can be coerced into 5V/5V operation (which would make it writable in eMates), go ahead. I'll gladly give it a try, but I haven't the time right now to find out if the attempt would have any chance of success. Just in case someone wants such a card, I have still some left. Frank Frank Gruendel 2008-11-30T17:55:13 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.systems.newton.newtontalk/87545 I've been reading some of the archives including links in recent emails to the section on ethernet cards, etc. I'd really like to get wireless going with my "new to me" 2000 and 2000U. Reading Hirochi Noguchi's page, it looks like the wireless card to get would be Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE Gold which he shows in his chart. It looks like the driver to get would be " Latest Version: ver 1.08a". Would it be important to go for the 128 bit card? Does the WEP key in hexa-decimal refer to entering a sort of password?

Well, I liked it so much, I bought 2 MP2000's (one upgraded) with all the manuals, a flash card, and a modem card from the same seller on ebay. I've received a cable from JK Sales with interconnect on one end and DB9 on the other, so I'm trying to solve the connection issues. I also bought a fax modem for the MP110 for transfering data by fax. I've barely had time to do anything with the 2000's (going to give one to my child for Christmas), but I know I want to download some software. I have an old Dell with a DB9 connector, but I prefer a Powermac G4 with OSX 10.3 as my main computer. I can get a DB9 to USB converter cable to use the Mac for my Newton connection. I received all the NCU disks for both Mac and PC with the MP2000's, but I'm trying to decide whether to go with the NCX utility for OSX or partition my HD on the G4 and add OS 9. What's the better OS for working with the Newton, OS 9 or OSX (or another)? thanks G.R.Aydelotte ==================================================================== The NewtonTalk Mailing List - http://www.newtontalk.net/ The Official Newton FAQ - http://www.splorp.com/newton/faq/ The Newton Glossary - http://www.splorp.com/newton/glossary/ WikiWikiNewt - http://tools.unna.org/wikiwikinewt/ ==================================================================== Gregg R.

If so, please let me know your asking price. Because the dongle is a small and relatively fragile item, I would ask that it be shipped in a small box. Shipping would be to the SF Bay Area and I would prefer to pay for this via PayPal. Please shoot me a mail off-list and we'll go from there.

The case just split at the SER-001, and I had it done long enough ago that J&K probably won't help. Anyone have a spare 2000 back for sale? Or the skills to replace the back and adjust the SER-001 so it doesn't split the replacement back? I am annoyed enough now to chew barbed wire and spit bullets, but that's not going to help so I won't. ==================================================================== The NewtonTalk Mailing List - http://www.newtontalk.net/ The Official Newton FAQ - http://www.splorp.com/newton/faq/ The Newton Glossary - http://www.splorp.com/newton/glossary/ WikiWikiNewt - http://tools.unna.org/wikiwikinewt/ ==================================================================== Bruce Durocher II 2008-11-25T09:30:13 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.systems.newton.newtontalk/87492 Just a note!

The drive will soon be winging its way to the good folks at Datacent for appraisal and ultimate recovery. Hopefully. The site backups and existing bits of data from the server were not as complete as I had originally thought. Yes, I do have a few significant chunks of the site available for republishing, but there are several gigabytes of personal directories and other information that remain buried on the hard drive. This is why I have decided to go ahead with the process of data recovery. For some backstory of this whole sordid affair, please refer to this previous post: http://www.newtontalk.net/archive/newtontalk.2008-02/0347.html I would also like to apologize for the radio silence.
