For a time I ran Vicomsoft's SurfDoubler on my G3 as a demo. Worked
flawlessly with my Newt as it sets itself up as a DHCP server and dishes out
an internal address to client machines. I loved it and am about to go back
and buy it. All I have to do is figure out how to get Cat 5 from the
computer room about 100' to my big chair in front of the TV.(And not make my
wife mad.)
