+I bought an Apple [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMate_300|eMate]] off of [[marktplaats]], now what?
+[[http://www.unna.org/|Site]] with tools and stuff for Newtons.
+[[http://www.tucows.com/Windows/PDA/Newton/Communication/Terminal/|Terminal software]] to use as a serial console.
+====== Plan ======
+  - Get serial running (done)
+    * [[http://pinouts.ru/SerialPorts/MacRs422_pinout.shtml|pinout]] for Mini DIN-8 connector. (done, cable is functional)
+  - Let it talk IrDA to my laptop and optionally phone/iPaq
+    * Need to install [[http://tools.unna.org/wikiwikinewt/index.php/IrDAConnection|some software]] first.
+      * Then I can use IrDA to install software.
+    * Sync using IrDA
+  - Install wifi (through pcmcia or a regular pcmcia networkcard and an external wifi adaptor)
+====== Internal or external networking? ======
+When using an external adaptor perhaps that device can run SSH so i can not only telnet but also ssh :)
+Internal pcmcia benefits:
+  * one device
+  * power draw
+External network benefits:
+  * Perhaps SSH (depending on device)
+  * Perhaps WPA (depending on device)
+  * More standard software on eMate.
+  * Options: [[http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS8386088053.html|Digi]] or [[http://www.gumstix.com/|Gumstix]]
