Why are you doing it this way?
For the cost perhaps?
Well, for the struggle, the cost isn't worth it!
The way I would do it (and the way I am actually doing
it) is my desktop has (had, I'm DSL now) a modem in
it. and I'm running "proxy" software on it. I also
have an ethernet card in the desktop connected to an
ethernet hub. All of my other machines are connected
to the hub with ethernet connections and point to the
desktop machine's IP as the proxy server. In this way,
all of my computers, Newton included have full access
to the internet. What's really cool is that if there
is not aleady a dialup connection, any calls for
internet connections will instruct the computer with
the proxy software to create a dial up connection!
Total cost: NIC for desktop $20, NIC for Newt $35, Hub
$30, Proxy software free (shareware)
