This program allows me to use OSX to install packages via wireless 802.11b using Apple's rendevous automatic configuration!
Sheesh, it works with Appletalk also. Uses Newton's built in dock module to connect to OSX based mac via serial/appletalk/ethernet/wireless
Also does a partial sync of OSX address book with Newt. This feature seems incomplete as of 1/20/04, but didn't screw anything up either!

It works. I'm stunned. I plugged my new (well, USED; new to me, anyway) MP2100 in via the little dongle thingy, and a keyspan serial to USB adapter, and connnected. And installed packages. Immediately. Thanks!
