I don't understand. If you have an Ethernet card, why bother with the
AsanteTalk? You shouldn't need it, but you will need to connect your Newton
to your Ethernet hub or switch. If I don't understand, please clarify.

code police n.: [by analogy with George Orwell's `thought police'] A
mythical team of Gestapo-like storm troopers that might burst into one's
office and arrest one for violating programming style rules. May be used
either seriously, to underline a claim that a particular style violation is
dangerous, or ironically, to suggest that the practice under discussion is
condemned mainly by anal-retentive weenies. "Dike out that goto or the code
police will get you!" The ironic usage is perhaps more common.
