I am using a NMP 2K with a Macintosh G3 DT.  My problem resides in 
connecting to the Newton Connection Utilities through my ethernet 
LAN.  I have read several accounts in the Newtontalk newsletter 
indicating success using both Asantetalk and the 3com card to connect 
to NCU via ethernet.  I have never been able to connect using my 
Asantetalk and while the 3com will connect to NCU, I can only load 
packages and do nothing else.  On the other hand, when I use the 
dongle through the G3 printer port, everything is A-OK. I can BU, 
Sync, export and all the nice things you want to do externally.  The 
tediousness of using the printer port is that everything is ethernet 
based and there is a lot of fussing with appletalk connections to use 
the Newton.  Can anyone suggest places to look to unravel this 
mytery?  Maybe there is a software package that should be installed 
or updated?
