Here are some other thoughts I had.

- What about FTP? Aren't there FTP clients for the Newton. If I was running
FTP server on my laptop, couldn't it connect?

- I have seem some smatterings of stuff about setting up the Newton as a web
server. Couldn't it be set up to serve documents as well? Then couldn't I
just go to the web page on the newton and grab stuff?
