[NTLK] Newton to iPad over bluetooth

[Chris Browder]

I have an airport base station (graphite) that I would be willing to
part with for $20 shipped that is 100% newton-compatible. If you send
me the MAC address off the wifi card ill even configure the base
station for open access restricted to that cards MAC address for plug
and play functionality.

I wrote my entire PhD by hand on my Newton 2100 back in 2002 and continued to use my Newton until connecting proved too much for me to figure out. Got back to my Newton when I acquired a Pico Bluetooth card and used the functionality to great effect.

This would be a real bonus for me, and I sincerely hope that someone has a positive answer for me.

So really, either would do: connecting via bluetooth to my iPad, or fool proof wifi setup connectivity. I have an Orinoco Gold card, a Newton 2100 and a Pico Bluetooth card.
