Should be no problem under Windows.  It seems to be the most widely supported
platform for the IW60. There was a lot of software, manuals, CD, and stuff
for Windows '95-J.  The networking stuff is the same in English and
Japnese, so it should be okay.  I've never tried it though.

Yes. 

sean> It's no fun being the 'guineapig'...; I hope you get your Aterm/Linux bugs worked out.  gambatte ne!

I can make it work under Linux now.  You can too!  :-)  

There are a bunch of other cool features to it too.  After I got it working
with Linux, I gave up reading the manual.

You must register your PHS phone into the NEC Aterm IW60 at the store
to get it to work as a home station.  You can't do it yourself.

Craig
