[NTLK] Best way to get pictures into an eMate?

[Alan Fleming]

No further forward, unfortunately. If I put a PICT into a Clarisworks document, it doesn’t sync over.

Next idea is to run a password-protected web server and use NewtWorks.  I’ll try have a go with that this weekend - unless there are other ideas? The trouble with this is to do this live, I’d need to have some sort of WPA only Wifi bridge to get to the web server, and I don’t know anything about that either. Does anyone know if there’s some sort of wifi-wifi bridge hardware out there that is Newton-friendly?
