Re: [NTLK] WiFi issues with Newton 2x00

Well, I'm not all that and a cup of Rudy Baggs Coffee, but thanks.

We all started where you are and someday soon you will be able to give back,
so no worries.

Networking can be very in-depth, in fact the more I learn the less I know -
like many things. Like I said, we have quite a few very knowledgeable
networking professionals on the list who could teach me more than I could
ever learn, but would be very willing to try.
