Hi Craig,
I am curious for more information on how you do wi-fi on the Duo  2300c.



 
Hey Art,
 
My 2300c runs OS 8.1, has the max RAM, aided by Ram Doubler 8.  As you  can 
see I am STILL with AOL (I am STILL a smart person, though!  Ha!) so I  use it 
(Mac version 5.0) and Internet Explorer 5.x for Mac...
 
To get wireless, I use a Newer Technology Ethernet Microdock with a  wireless 
802.11b bridge; sometimes I have to use my Etherdock (the one I suspect  you 
have?) as the Microdock sometimes is tempermental...
 
Now, as far as the bridge... I cannot remember who made it!  I found  it on 
Ebay way back when - around 2002-2003.  It was designed to provide  wifi access 
to PC machines that did not have USB or PCMCIA.  It is  pretty small -- about 
the size of a pack of cigarettes, and has a built-in clip  (presumably for it 
to be used with a laptop).  
 
It has a VERY QUIRKY browser-based setup procedure - you have to change  your 
settings in the TCP/IP control panel to access it - but it does do the  trick.
 
It requires a AC adapter to use it, and that part is not very cool.... but  
hey, the 2300c need to be plugged in TOO(!), so really as long as I can find a  
wall plug that has two plugs available, it's no biggie.  
 
I will take a pic of the bridge and the entire setup this weekend,
 
Craig W.
