>Why are you doing it this way?
>For the cost perhaps?
Have no Hub, no ethernet card for the Newton and ...
no experience at all with all that stuff.
(meaning: have to look for the right brands, the usually prices,
the software playing on it...uhhh)
>Well, for the struggle, the cost isn't worth it!
>The way I would do it (and the way I am actually doing

same here...DSL on flat mode.
>and I'm running "proxy" software on it. I also

>$30, Proxy software free (shareware)

Thanks again !
