You got it right: 38400, 8bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.

Newton dock protocol doesn't look like this.
On serial, you have MNP compression. On top of this, you have the
Newton docking protocol described here:
http://www.kallisys.com/files/newton/Bowels/docking_protocol.txt
The package installation subset is also described in Newton Formats
(google for Newton Formats, it's on UNNA)
Depending on what you want to do, you might want to check:
- UnixNPI (implementation of the package installation subset).
http://unixnpi.sf.net/
- Desktop Connection Library (the most complete open source
implementation of the docking protocol available out there):
http://www.kallisys.com/newton/dcl/
- Apple's DILs (they're on UNNA as well, and probably on
ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/). Complete but only available in
binary form for MacOS < X and Windows.
- I don't think Andrew Patrikalakis in his abandonned NSOL/NCL
project started working on this protocol.

- I think Philz did implement the package installation (http://newton.vyx.net/)
