Sean, welcome to the list! I have a keyspan adapter and it works fine
with my PowerMac G4 Quicksilver and with my Titanium PowerBook. I reboot
into OS 9.2 in order to connect. However, I have a Tangerine iMac 266
and I've had no luck getting the keyspan adapter to work with that
system and a Newton. Not sure what kind of iMac you are using, but that
*may* be the problem. If you have a newer iMac, such as one of the
flatscreen models, then I think you should be able to get the keyspan to
work. Also, I have a vague memory of keyspan warning users not to
install drivers for both OS 9 and OS X--it's either one or the other.
Hope this helps,
Robert Velarde
