No, you don't. You need to install the packages from the "Newton Internet
Enabler 2.0" archive that you will find on UNNA. Then, you need to grab the
latest version of the wireless driver.

The best thing would be to find a Newton user that lives not too far away
from you. If he/she has an external PCMCIA card, he could load the drivers
you're missing and you would just pop his card in your Newton and copy the
packages to your internal storage area. Where do you live?

See my reply above to a similar question.

Your typical electric utility draws its line current out of the big generators with a pair of coil taps located near the top of the dynamo. When the normal tap brushes get dirty, they take them off line to clean them up, and use special auxiliary taps on the bottom of the coil. Now, this is a problem, because when they do that they get not ordinary or `thin' electrons, but the fat'n'sloppy electrons that are heavier and so settle to the bottom of the generator. These flow down ordinary wires just fine, but when they have to turn a sharp corner (as in an integrated-circuit via), they're apt to get stuck. This is what causes computer glitches.-- This is the NewtonTalk list - http://www.newtontalk.net/ for all inquiries List FAQ/Etiquette/Terms: http://www.newtontalk.net/faq.html Official Newton FAQ: http://www.chuma.org/newton/faq/
