Pascal, my suggestion is to get the Ethernet card. It's not terribly
expensive ($30 cnd) and it goes much faster then either inferred or serial.
It's also very portable (especially if you get an X-Jack Ethernet card like
mine. The only time you run into issues is if you do a brain-wipe and forge=
t
to put the ethernet drivers on a secondary storage device. I have a card
with my mp2k and I love it. Plus you can then use your newt to connect to
the internet.
