*chuckle* Very different experience for me. I've had no trouble getting
TCP working wirelessly on my network, and from there to anyplace on the
net, but slaving the Newt to any particular computer (to synch or even
load packages) has been a challenge. I've never gotten synching to work,
to the point of telling people that "It's a standalone machine -- it
doesn't NEED to synch."
