The weird thing is, when connected to a hub, the green light comes on
briefly when I insert the card. The Newton then correctly identifies the
card, and asks if I want to use it for AppleTalk. I tap yes, but when I go
to Internet Setup, there is no Ethernet option for the connection, just
Modem, Serial and LocalTalk. When I go to the Dock app, and press connect,
the light again comes on briefly and goes off again. Then, when I attempt to
connect (from the Dock, still) the Newton can't find any Mac OS computers.
When I tap "stop", the link light once again comes on, and now it stays on
for a while (a minute or so), before going off again.
The card worked fine last time I used it, which is some year and a half ago,
on my PowerBook 1400.
