I think last time this went around, it was Victor who reputedly did the

I was going to wait for Frank to reply :)
Recall, A couple years ago now I tried and posted about 2 3com card models,
and the Farallon card, in my MP130 (people on the list even mailed me
cards- thanks again all) and I never got ethernet going in the MP130, even
just for Appletalk. My feeling was that if anything would work, it would
be the "Newton certified" Farallon if nothing else.
I never have heard (read) a post from someone who did it that I can recall,
just posts from people thinking they'd read about it sometime.
I'd be happy to be wrong, and you can't ever prove a negative, but I doubt
we'll hear differently anytime soon than: it (ethernet for anything) just
plain doesn't work unless you are 2x00 or emate.
