Well, I have been working on my eMate webserver, after a short hiatus caused by a missing pcmcia dongle, and I still have great hopes for WoL functionality.
This is the first time I have tried this on a Newton, and I discover that NPDS is surprisingly complete as an html server, as long as you are content with text. I plan at the moment to make the site look a little like a blog, and avoid most of the usual NPDS modules -- who, after all, wants their dates and contacts online? Some of the ready-made modules are quite possibly a source of NPDS instability (e.g., the Calendar server appeared to want to go no later than 2008, so I wonder if there is some issue surrounding the date bug and/or patch, which I have on my Newtons). I have turned all that unnecessary stuff off by freezing the packages. Custom html, complete with CSS, still seems to serve just fine. It is not fast, but then, I did not expect it to be.
Scripting (via NewtonScript) is built in, and tackling this will be the next step after I get the html the way I want. NewtonScript is very powerful, so I may be some time....
I will provide a link in due course. Think Green!
