Hi. I'm new to the list, and some time ago aquired a powerbook 160. It 
only has 4 meg of ram. I have not yet attempted to install netbsd, and 
also, figured I would need to borrow a machine that has 8 meg to install 
with. However, I finally figured out a purpose for this box. The trouble 
is, as i read recently, the display is unsupported and I must use a serial 
console. That in it self isn't a problem, except I was planning on linking 
up to my NAT machine with a 'hardline' ppp connection. So then after a bit 
of searching, I came to my two solutions. scsi-ethernet adapter. searching 
for the cabletron style for sale anywhere revealed nothing.  then the 
other brand xxx/xercom or something. is a driver still in progress? or 
operative?  then someone else said a local computer store has a box of 
such adapters for a fair price.
the second way was the appletalk-ethertalk converter box. is netbsd smart 
enough to talk through one of these?
if it pleases you, could someone bring me up to speed on my outlook for 
this, well, interesting laptop?

thanks,
elliot
