Apple Newton Internet Enabler - Manual

The Newton Internet Enabler (NIE) allows you to access the Internet using a Newton
device with an Internet application program, such as NetHopper. NIE also enables
you to access your company intranet (a private network within the company). To use
NIE, you should be familiar with basic Newton functions (described in the
documentation that came with your Newton device).
What you need
To use the Internet from your Newton device, you need the following:
m an analog phone line, cellular telephone, or wireless connection
m an Internet access account established through your work, school, or Internet
service provider (ISP), or access to a private company intranet
m an external modem or a PC card modem. (See the Appendix for information on
Newton-compatible modems.)
m a Newton device with 1 MB or more of system memory running the Newton 2.0
operating system or later. (See the Appendix for information on updating your
system software.)
m Internet software for the Newton—Web browser software, such as NetHopper (by
AllPen Software, Inc.) or Newt’s Cape (by Gaia Software), and e-mail software,
such as Eudora Pro for Newton (by QualComm, Inc.), EnRoute (by Netstrategy
Software Inc.), or GoFetch (by Fetch Software, Inc.).
What is the Internet?
The Internet is a worldwide network of computer networks. Through the Internet,
you can contact millions of computers and their users. The Internet is a world
you explore through your fingertips. Without leaving your chair, you can use the
Internet to
m stay in touch with friends, relatives, and colleagues around the world (via e-mail)
at a fraction of the cost of phone calls or air mail
m discuss everything from archaeology to zoology with people from around
the world
m tap into hundreds of information databases and libraries worldwide
m retrieve thousands of documents, journals, books, and computer programs
