Thomas,
Yes, you have the basics. Yes, the easiest way to install packages is via
email, given what you will be receiving with your newton. The tricks to get
it going are:
-- set up your internet account using "Internet Setup", located in Extras
-- set up your email account using "Owner Info" in Extras
-- use the "In-Out" box to receive email (it runs the email program called
EnRoute when you select "Receive", then "inet Mail")
i eventually want to get a wireless card working in it, but
i realise
that i will need to get drivers into the Newton before the
card will
work. because it is coming with a modem card, i am assuming
that i
will be able to email packages (drivers, apps) to the Newton
for
installation. Is this correct? or, do i absolutely first
have to have
a serial cable to connect my Powerbook G4 (aluminum 15" with
10.3.3) to
my Newton for the initial installation of communications
drivers for
the modem, etc? In that case, am i right in understanding
that i will
need both a USB to serial adaptor for the Powerbook and
either a dongle
for the Newton Interconnect port or a cable that fits
directly into the
Interconnect port? Is there a consensus on what are the
best USB to
serial adaptors, Interconnect port dongles, and cables?
