Simon,
First of all - you de man.
Secondly, I tried it, and also got -4 on both ends. On the Newton side, it
established the connection, went as far as the installing package dialog,
then first the Package Installer said the Newton ended the connection with a
-4, then the Newt quit with a -4 error. I'd be happy to test whatever you
put out.
Thanks,
Dave
