First, you never mentioned that you did install all packages from the
'Newton Internet Enabler' 2.0. Assuming you did, since you report your card
showing up, if your DSL provider is like mine (Verizon), they're using
PPPoE, or Point-to-Point-Protocol-Over_Ethernet, which isn't supported on
the Newton.
