[NTLK] Hello - returning to the list & MP 2000 internet, questions (Lloyd A. Conway)

[Lloyd A. Conway]

Woody,
      Your advice (thanks), along with some tech support from Joe at 
Fastermac.net resulted in success.  I'm on Drudge right now and the 
State of Michigan website worked, too.  Joe directed my to the use of 
Google DNS servers - 8.8.8.8 being one - as a good way to get on, 
however, not with their dial-up.  It worked with www.dialinfreenet, , so 
I can report that their dial-up meets the Newt standard.  
(Dialinfree.net which offers free internet access statewide.)  My next 
project is to contact the Genessee Freenet and see if theirs is 
old-school enough for Newt-netting.)
      Now, on to that Airport refugee WaveLAN Silver card...
Regards,
-Lloyd

"As Tony mentioned you need a dial up service that doesn't require that
you have SSL or log in through an HTTPS site.
Getting rare.
There are a number of newton users that are active and living in Mich.
If I were in your situation I would look at
1)getting a Newton interconnect to pc serial cable see
<http://www.jksalesinc.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=25_37_48>and a
KeyspanUSA-19HS Serial to USB expect $30 on ebay.  This will work with
either Mac or PC...."


Good luck
Woody"
