OK, from reading the blurb at

(nice URL)
and gleaning this info:
--
I can still use IPNR and the Newton. I just have to use a serial PPP
connection to the gateway Mac. I'm not thrilled about all that plugging
and unplugging of the cables because I'm concerned about wear and tear.
IPNR is also a lot less expensive than SRP. If I need all the power of
SRP, I think I'll just buy one of those SOHO routers which are dropping
in price fast.
--
It seems that I could fire up IPNetrouter on the B/W G3 (hardware per my
subject line: B/W G3, Keyspan serial, MP130) and have Inet access on the
MP130 while at work thru the serial port. This would be way cool.
The other option would be vicom SoftRouter, which also supports MacIP
(might be handy for connecting old Macs on other machines, but no help for
the current G3 situation- Appletalk won't cross the Keyspan, so the MacIP
protocol won't work. Perhaps I could use it on other machines at home,
though). For just basic sharing of a network connection, IPNR and
SoftRouter are almost the same price.
Vicom Softrouter has more capabilities but you buy them for (comparatively)
lots $.
Any experiences with IPNetrouter in this type of setup with a Newton serial
connection would be appreciated; I'll likely try to find time to play with
it on the weekend.
Thanks!
Brian
