The newton does NOT need to run enternet.
You can solve this several ways. If you put a NAT router program such as
IPNetRouter on the machine running enternet, any number of machines can
connect (all without enternet).
OR you could get a hardware router such as the linksys, and this hooks to
the dsl modem, runs the PPPoE and presents a DHCP interface to the lan. For
this to work, the DSL modem MUST present an ethernet interface.
There are other options, but they are just derivatives of these...
got more questions?
I am just warming up.
