Aux environs du 2/12/03 ā 11:38 -0200, sous le titre "[NTLK] need

Weird. I think you might be able to put your MacOS X's LAN IP instead
of the DNS Server. But still, DNSes are supposed to work like any
other client on your network.

This is the connection process.
NewtonOS uses Endpoints. Basically, it's communication library
inherits from OpenTransport which is a superset of XTI. You have two
traditionnal APIs to do networking: sockets and endpoints (XTI).
An Endpoint is an object that goes through various states. If you
connect, the states are instantiation, bind, connect, exchange data,
disconnect, unbind, delete.
I know it doesn't help explaining why this takes 10 or 15 minutes.
You might have something wrong in your setup. I don't know this card
and I strictly have no idea, I'm sorry I cannot help.
