Well, for a laptop, get an AirPort hub and card (or WaveLAN card if
you've got an older Powerbook like I do). I do. I can roam about the
house with my PowerBook, works fine from the 2nd floor to the basement!
Running Ethernet in a house can be a ROYAL pain.
For a Newton...hope that gopi or Hiroshi get a WaveLAN driver working!
Or look at Stacey Tenen's recent post on Neweted about the RangeLAN2
stuff. More expensive than AirPort, but should work with things other
than the Newton too.
