[NTLK] UNNA Status?

[Forrest Buffenmyer]

Well, the odd thing is that is WAS up. Now, the same link doesn’t work.

Let me be clear on this: I spent many hours on the site, looking at various packages in all the different categories, carefully evaluating which ones I might want for the Newton. I was using an older Dell laptop and all the various hardware/cables to connect it to the MP2100. I would download a package and, using NCU, would install it on the Newton. Many times I would just click on the text documentation to see if I even had interest; a few times I installed the package, only to later delete it.

I should be able to provide the dates and times I downloaded the ones I kept, if that’s helpful at all.

(Just an aside: I just visited dillernet.com. There is NO MENTION of UNNA. I should have done a screen grab, before.)

Curiouser and curiouser.

Mahalo,
Forrest
