I use my Newton 2100 with my Comcast account to send and receive Emails. I
first had a software router called WinRoute to share my internet connection.
Then I added a wireless router and wireless card for my notebook computer
and my Newton. I setup an additional Email account on Comcast, you get like
seven or something, for my Newton. Now I can Email from Newton to desktop or
Notebook and visa versa. So I can connect my Newton either via Ethernet or
Wifi.

Subject: [NTLK] Serial port addition
How refreshing it is to know there are still Newton hardware developers out
there who are at least looking into the development of new hardware for our
platform! It's nice to know there are at least a few folks within the
Community who spend a few moments each day pondering new add-ons to boost
the Newton's productivity!
For programmers out there in need of project ideas, consideration for any of
the following would be greatly appreciated:
* Adding additional functionality to Newton Connection Utilities, to make
transfer of Newton drawings from Notes to a PC desktop possible (There may
be a way to do this already with another program, but NCU, as the common
interconection utility, SHOULD have such capabilities as well).
* Software that would allow low-bitrate .mp3 files to be converted to play
on other model Newtons than the MP2100. Could the application be tweaked to
perhaps allow an eMate or MP 2000 to play .mps files? Could something be
done with the MOD Player app? Would there be a way to easily convert an
.mp3 file type to a .MOD file type?
* Additional codecs, or whatever they're called, for some of the IrDA
remote control programs out there. It doesn't make sense to have to hunt
down an old television, simply to take advantage of the existing Newton TV
software capabilities!
* A clear explaination for a workaround to lack of dial-up Internet service
for those of us who don't wish to pay for three separate ISP services. For
example, I have AOL and a Comcast account, neirther which allow me to use
Internet or e-mail on my Newton (I had Earthlink for a while, but it seemed
an unnecessary extra expense). Question: Could I use an ethernet card on my
Newton to access the Internet connection of my laptop? My concern is in
finding a way to extract and send e-mail files from my Notes to other Newton
users.
Inquiring minds want to know...
