I've used it with several non-Apple wireless routers with no problems --
except that many will not route AppleTalk through the wireless side. This
means, for example, that you can't use NCU or print wirelessly from the
Newton. But internet stuff and anything else that uses TCP/IP should work
fine with most brands of router.
