[NTLK] Use a Raspberry Pi to connect the Newton to the Internet

[Sylvain Pilet]

Hi, Christoph,

I don't understand why it took 9 minutes to receive the 16 emails from the NewtonTalk list.

If I followed correctly, you use the Wifi connection from your home to connect your Rapsberry in Wifi, then you share access to the Internet via the Ethernet port (RJ45) between the Rapsberry and the Newton. If that's right, it should be much faster!
