I still have it on my 2100 and although it connects to the Internet very
early in the morning to download news, which means I'm not there when it's
doing its thing, I would say that by looking at the current time on my
Newton and on my PowerBook, it must be working since the time diff on the 2
is less than 30 seconds, and I don't remember the last time I set the clock
on my Newton.
However, I remember I had to manually add a slot in the NetTime entry, in
the system soup. I'm not sure which one it was, but it wouldn't work if tha=
t
slot was not there. If you give me the list of slots (using a soup editor)
for the NetTime entry in the system soup, I could check mine and we could
see if you're missing one.
