I connected up an older Dell Latitude, an Iogear GUC-232A and the Newton?s cable and dongle to re-install Mail V and all its various parts.

After several hours deleting and re-entering the email parts of my Owner Info and fussing around the settings I was able to get it to work, although I have NO idea what I did finally that was so much different than what I had been doing.

  Forrest,

  I also have been trying to get MailV connected.  I can get access with my MP2100, Farallon card using Centurylink ISP to get online to so call “Newton Wesites”.  Yesterday when I 
attempted MailV I see that my IP address was sent then the response after was something like “Newton connecting” then it time out after 5-7 minutes and said “application does not have enough 
memory available to do what you asked”.  Easy enough so I transfered 10mb from my 32mb card to my 20mb card and started again but this time it stayed at “newton connecting” for 40 minutes 
with nothing so I just disconnected.  I thought it was going to download all of the email from Newted.org <http://newted.org/> so i stopped it!  I’ll let it go overnight tonight.

  I think that voice pkg  you wanted is voicenotes and if you search the archives with “voicenotes again” you might see the answer :) When I tried it I was scared that the on/off switch would be used
too much and would break eventually.  Hope that helps and thanks for all you inputs also.
