This was very helpful Len.
I think I may have a bad Ethernet card.
Before I installed the drivers, the card
was not recognized (shock). But after I installed
the drivers for the 3com card, the Newton kept
mum. I read in the archives that this was normal
for the 3Com cards so I didn't think much of it.
But when I click on 'card' on the MP, only the
Flash card appears, nothing about the 3com card...
Have to go to work now but will check card
in Windoze machine when I get back.
Thanks again,
Mike
