I've had no problems using my Newt through a Linux box acting as a NAT
gateway to my dialup ISP account. I'm about to try using the NAT1000
software for Win95, but I don't forsee having any problems with that.
The only hard and fast limitation of any version of NIE is that it can

using NetHopper and have SimpleMail download your mail in the background.
