Do you have any mac-mac or mac-pc serial cables?

I'd think your best chance for connecting would be over serial,
for which you'll need a usb-serial adapter, such as the one made by
keyspan.
If you have classic on any of your machines, you can connect with
Newton Connection Kit (NCK).
NCK (as I recall) handles package installation, synchronization, and
backups. Package installation can also be done natively on Mac OS X
with NewtTen. Programs such as Newton Connection Utilities (NCU) and
nSync (and the iTunes and ATA software) require a Newton with Newton OS
2.0 or newer (i.e. a MessagePad 120b or newer)
