Ahhh.. The wavelan card... boon and bane. Ok. Are all WiFi cards for
the Newton as power hungry as this old Wavelan card? If I were to get
a newer card working would I see significantly better battery life, or
all Wifi cards power hungry?
As for bluetooth and internet setup... if anyone here has any clue as
to how one sets up the bluetooth - to - internet bridge on Linux, I
could use some pointers. There is little helpful documentation on the
net on the subject. Maybe I'll save myself the trouble and get an
iBook instead of my Thinkpad... Also, I could suffer to try and figure
out how to get bluetooth-to-internet working for Windows if anyone has
any idea. I have already tried, and not been successful yet...

The more succinct your sig,
the more you grok the net.
