I think your throwing your wishes away waiting for this to happen. Speed,
memory and lack of developer resources would equate to 'three strikes
you're out' regarding this scenario. Sorry, but you'll have to either
live with the joys of dial-up or saved your pennies for a refurbished
2x00. As great as the form-factor of the older Newts is, TCP/IP just
ain't gonna happen my friend.
