Ah ha. More "slapping myself upside the head" when I get the Newton
concept. Just like a PPP connection, the Newton actually has to
"connect" using the card, so is not always on like Airport....
Once I initiate a session with webhopper (a pretty limited web
browser), I'm on. I can even ping my Newton IP from my Ti. My 128bit
WEP hex key even works. Now I just need to load a decent web
browser...
Thanks for all the advice, and sorry if my questions were covered
previously.
