Il me semble que le 2/09/03 à 21:40 +0100, David Mills nous racontait:

Apparently, your iMac is running MacOS X.
I think you can do this: go in Preferences, Sharing, Internet and
activate the sharing of your Internet access. You may then connect
with your Newton with a DHCP setting.
Note: I'm not completely sure that it would work since I didn't test
it, I just know that if you have two separate interfaces, like you
try to share your Internet access via Ethernet with Airport clients,
it does work.
Note #2: the setting goes away everytime you log out/restart your
iMac. There are tools on the web to automatically start the internet
sharing.
If this doesn't work, there are free Unix-like tools and applications
based thereof that will let you share your Internet access just as
described. Versiontracker reveals this one:

The drawback is that your iMac needs to be connected on the Internet
to surf with your Newton. If you don't want this, you'll need a
hardware router (sorry to not advise you for this kind of hardware, I
only have personal experiences with Airport base stations).
