Thanks Doug and everyone, that did the trick. Now I can listen to my
email by putting the Newton up to my ear and not get blasted out. Of
course, if anybody has an audio dongle they'd like to sell so I could
use headphones I'd be thrilled. I know those are hard to come by, and
I'm not techie enough to make my own.
Seriously, if anyone has a source for audio dongles or would be willing
to make me one or two for a price, please contact me off list and let
me know.
Thanks again,
-Dave
