Look for modem info in the FAQ for the Newton Community
or on DNUG Newton Versions (they have a modem page)

Then you're out of luck. Newton's don't do JavaScript. There's no way
to tell your connection rate I know of on the Newton....and by the way,
the most you can actually get is 53k, not 56k....and most people never
see that much (usually in the 40's somwehere, higher if you're very lucky)

Newt's Cape definitely is much more powerful than NetHopper, and still
being supported and upgraded by Steve Weyer (who is a NewtonTalk
contributor). Buy it and support him!
LunaSuite is also available.
>4. Are their any solutions for dealing with sites with Java Script?
Nope. You're out of luck if the site REQUIRES JavaScript or Java.
>5. Are the expired certificates a problem?
I doubt it, I'm not sure any of the Newton browsers support 'em at all.
They're only needed for secure pages and I don't think any Newton
browsers support such pages.
