Actually no. The only reason we can join up to these networks is
because most G capable routers also have a step back function to B
mode. If you had a true 802.11g only router, you wouldn't be able to
connect from the Newton (currently). In fact we are joining a 802.11b
network.

Sorry again for being nit picky.
