[NTLK] AirPort Express and Newton

[Forrest]

I don’t believe that is correct. For the INTERNET connection to work, that is true. To my knowledge only Hiroshi’s 802.11b WaveLAN app and I think possibly Paul Guyot’s ATA Support app are required, but the latter might only be for storage cards.

Mahalo,
