Re: [NTLK] Connecting Newton to OSX

Since serial is so much slower, and has been known to be less reliable than
ethernet (Appletalk or no) And considering that most of the machines that
can run OSX don't have serial ports. (without the aid of adapters). I still
don't see how connecting to OSX would be worse off with ethernet than
serial. Why is Appletalk not ideal? (I'm not suggesting it is, I'm just
asking why you think it isn't) I don't know if you are aware of this but
there is a TCP/IP Dock transport by Thomas Tempelmann and Jim Anderson
(http://www.tempel.org/newton/) so you don't have to use Appletalk.
