Yeah, thanks for the info. I tried that and Simplemail
can't get any main and I get an error in NetHopper
that says "A communications problem has occured.
Connection may have been dropped"
My dongle shows green on link status and the traffic
led blinks, but I can't get anything. Does the Newton
use Ethertalk as it's protocol?
I suspect that if so, they are blocking that at the
routers.
