Re: [NTLK] Roamer PC card? Network for 130?

You could make a dial-up PPP connection to your server using NIE 1.1. I
don't know anything about the Roamer. But you cannot use an ethernet card
(wired or wireless) with the MP130. Brian McEwen tried this 3 years ago
with my Farallon Ethernet card in his MP130. He tried loading the proper
NewtonDevices package to talk to the Farallon card. He tried a few other
things. It didn't work.
So the rule remains:
NOS 2.0 is ok for dial-up TCP/IP
NOS 2.0 cannot be used for Ethernet TCP/IP
NOS 2.1 is ok for Ethernet TCP/IP
