plume pour écrire les mots suivants:

Actually, this is the AppleTalk icon.
>1. Wireless card is set to work in infrastructure mode (channel is not

>(old-fashioned) mode.
I noticed that this setting has no importance with Lucent cards, but
it does with other cards. With other cards, you would need to connect
in ad-hoc mode (with the channel set properly to 11).
>2. In Dock, I choose connect via Appletalk, choose other computer and

>computer" it says "RuvkunG4PB3", so I don't have to choose "other
>computer" any more.
You have to do it to activate AppleTalk on the Mac. In your case,
AppleTalk was active (hence the black <...> icon in Escale), but if
there is no other computer connected to the network, MacOS X shuts
the interface down and you need to hook the Newton to the network
with choosing "other computer" to have the Mac fire the interface up.
Then you have to wait for 10 seconds before the AppleTalk stack is
completely up and Escale's service is registered.
