Thank you all for the replies. Hope to get a real base station soon.
But does NAT also stop my newton from seeing my Laser Printer. I ask
this because I never got my newton to see my printer even not with a
localtalk bridge. It is a gcc elite 1200. Perhaps I will be able to
print my first page from my newton after all these years?
Kind regards,
Hubertus
