Newton

Ethernet cards

paxswill Starting Member USA 25 Posts	Posted - 26 Aug 2002 : 14:00:02 I'nm going to school in a few weeks and I would like to hook u[p to the school Network. The network uses 10Base-T with DHCP, so no prob, but I don't have an e-net card. What are some Ethernet cards you guys (and gals) like. I'm kinda leaning toward a 3com off of ebay with x-jack. I don't want to have to carry another dongle in my Newt case. Thanks. Pax ------------------ Where there's a Will, there's a way.

paxswill Starting Member USA 25 Posts	Posted - 26 Aug 2002 : 19:34:34 I've bid and won on this:http://www.3com.com/products/en_US/detail.jsp?tab=fe atures&sku=3CXE589EC&pathtype=purchase It works for the Newt. I've installed the drivers and made a config for it Now, if only I could get it faster... btw, is there a way to use my Newt as a sort of "bridge" to my home network for my 6200. Having just bought a NIC, I don't want to have to buy another. I know there is a way to use your Newt as a a modem but is there a way to use it as a Network bridge?

I got a 3Com 3CXE589DT with the X-Jack connector (Basically the same card as yours) for 6 bucks US. on eBay. Even with shipping to Canada it end up being less than $20 CDN. Good fun for everyone!
