Hey Everyone:

I have an Apple Newton 2000 that I would like to connect to my FreeBSD
(4.1.1) box for the purpose of surfing the net and reading e-mail.  I
need to connect it via a serial port.  I don't have an ether net card
for it.

There are instructions for doing this in Linux and using a PPP
connection at:

http://archive.dstc.edu.au/AU/staff/da/stuff/newton-ppp.html

I don't use a PPP connection, I have DSL.  Maybe someone can help me
modify those instructions or perhaps someone else has done this and
can help me out.

Any help or pointers or help would be great.

Thanks In Advance
