You're in luck. If you don't want Appletalk, but instead want TCP/IP,
try Paul Guyot's Escale. It's still in development, but works well for
many. You'll find that at http://www.kallisys.com/newton/dcl/

Also, to get info on Ethernet cards, check Victor's great FAQ at

Easy. Just nab newtSync. It's open source and everything! You'll find
it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/newtsync/ You might need some
plug-ins from the following site to get iCal to work. I'm unsure if
that is still the case.

Stop by Glass Onion Software for some great plugins for newtSync:

Back to Victor, the man with his entire DVD collection scanned into his
Newt. He describes his setup here
http://www.chuma.org/newarchive/001006.shtml and you can download the
driver for the InPath scanner here:

Good luck, and welcome back!
