Well, I am now finished going "back to school," so to speak. I have discovered a solution to the problem I mentioned below, about how my University wants to authenticate with MAC addresses and Javascript and how my Lantronix can't do that. Well, I found something called Firestarter, which allows me to use my "modern" laptop as a gateway for other devices. My wireless hooks up to the 'net and authenticates, and my Lantronix gets hooked to a router which is attached to the ethernet port on my laptop. It's a little like the "bridging" in Windows, but much more secure. All the devices behind my laptop get a full firewall and both MAC and IP "cloaking" in a way, since they are using the same MAC and IP as my laptop.
Retrocomputing Forever!
