I use Vicomsoft SurfDoubler. Works like a champ. Have Farallon TP895 card
with EtherWave dongle.

Swap, backup, install even with NCU (Newton Connection Utilities) over
Ethernet a simple task backup=4 taps others not much more depending on
navigation required. Can be controlled from Newt or iMac. Synch a range of
difficulties from difficult to nearly impossible. Mainly due to expiration
of easy synching desktop apps.
