I'd was browsing some old Newton notes and noted that NIE 2.0 is
supposedly able to work with wireless Ethernet. No details, though, and
now sure how that relates to WaveLAN (which is what AirPort uses).
Someone is considering working on an AirPort driver.
Search the Info-Newt web site (www.info-newt.com) for "AirPort" and you
should find a link. E-mail him to encourage him to do it. I'd pay $50
or more for an AirPort driver for the Newton!
