when I had my problems.... I wasn't using an Ethernet card inside the=20
Newton, but that external box that converted LocalTalk to Ethernet. I=20
forget its name, but that was the box that would not connect to my=20
Pismo. I don't think I've ever tried a direct connection with my=20
Ethernet card. I had forgotten about that, but after writing what I=20
wrote, it got me thinking..... Sorry about forgetting that little=20
detail. In any case, that box couldn't negotiate a connection without a=20=
