I also had my second port taken away, but they don't know about my
Newton server. Actually, I work at a college, and our techs. don't
know much about anything. I bought a 4 port hub at Best Buy (after
rebate it was $5). I plugged the uplink port into my remaining port
and then plugged my G4 into it. I now have three spare ports. I
have a CAT5 cable running to an empty file cabinet drawer and place
the hub and my spare Newton UMP2k in that drawer. Works like a charm.
