Hi!
I agree that using the Keyspan adapter is probably the easiest and most reliable connection. When I was first getting started I had no end of trouble with that method, however.
If you have access to a PowerBook G3 with a functioning IR port, may I suggest the Newton DIL test package. I was able to get my 2000U set up and running and packages installed successfully with little trouble. I can't remember the other package I'd used to do the same, but IR worked great.
Then again, if you had a WallStreet you could also just hook the serial cable up directly without the need for an adapter.
Best of luck!
Take care, and stay green!
