Hi,
I'm on digest so took a little while to get back. I can speak only about
stealth serial port from GeeThree. It fits in the port where modem card
normally sits. It means you swap modem for a stealth card.
GeeThree card worked great for me as they have drivers for MacOS 9 and
MacOS X too. I believe that people on the list where successfully using
also Keyspan USB-> Serial adapters. Just in the case you are using
built-in modem.

Subject: [NTLK] Another USB to Serial adapter question
From: Henry Anderson <anderson_henry_at_sbcglobal.net>
I have a Newton Messagepad 130 and I'm trying to get it to connect with
my
G-3 (blue & white). I bought a Sewell USB to serial adapter and it's
not
working. It works fine however on my wife's PC. I'm wondering if it's
because my computer doesn't have an internal modem. I remember reading
somewhere that these adapters use the modem to simulate the serial
connection. I've looked at the stealth serial port by GeeThree.com and
they
also require an internal modem to mount there card. Would a Keystone
adapter work without an internal modem?
