It seems that the irda part of the newton software is incomplete,
so the only way to connect to a phone is either through a GSM pcmcia card
or a cable though the serial port on the newton.
Unless anyone is working on completing or re-writing the irda driver?????

Subject: [NTLK] Newton 2100 + IrDA internet
Hi there.
I have a Newton 2100 with internet enabler on it.
I have read in articles elsewhere that I can check
mail and surf the web with PDAs such as the Palm + Pocket
PCs uusing the IrDA of my cell phone with the PDA IrDA to
connect to the internet. I know that I can use a PCMCIA
modem card or an ethernet card to log on to the net, but I
was wondering if there is a way to get online using my
phone's IrDA with my newton. The reason I dont like the
PCMCIA modem is that it is probably analog (which is what
phonelines here in the US are) but I travel to places that
have digital landlines as well, not to mention the fact
that I would prefer wireless ;)
so, anyone have an answer as to how I can achieve this ?
The phones that I am interested in making this work are the
Nokia 8290, the Nokia 8890 and any newer ericsson models
:)_
thanks!
AK
