Hi Sean
I don't have experience with the Keyspan adapter but I do have
experience with connecting the Emate and 2100 to 9.2.
You need to have Newton Connection Utilities (NCU)installed on your Mac
and running
<http://dc.unna.org/unna/apple/connection_utils/ForMac/>
launch dick on the Newt and choose serial then tap connect.
With the eMate if the dock button is set to classroom exchange you need
to use the dock icon or use teacher setup (hope that it is not password
protected) to change the button setting.
I think that the 130 also uses NCU.
I don't use wireless but, you will need to install ethernet drivers and
the wireless driver first. ethernet drivers can be found at
<http://newton.tek-ed.com/>
If you have already used this procedure then give us a step by step of
what you are doing and someone should be able to help.
