\In short, D-link products are not recommendable for Appletalk
applications.
That's informative but not very helpful. It's been a while since I've used a real Mac and I
forgot that Apple basically locked themselves into Airport for all their wireless networking--
I can't even find a standard PCI wifi card on eBay that appears to be Appletalk compatible. I
guess if I want a wireless NCU connection I'm going to have to shell out for an iBook.
Still it does seem to me that there ought to be some software trick that could fool a tcp/ip
wifi board into handling appletalk packets. This is probably not the correct forum to ask
about that though.
I'll just get a Newton-compatible wired Ethernet card and use a conventional router. Thanks.
