I guess I could have been more descriptive. :-)
You need to install internet sharing software on your Mac. I used Friendly
Share from Asante (no affiliation but I won the package at the last
MacWorld); although, most people seem to use IPNetRouter (and I don't
remember who makes that). You enable the software to assign DHCP, then you
should be able to set your Newton to connect to the internet via ethernet
with the DHCP server. That should be it.
As for seeing the Newton from your Mac, the only way to do that is through
NCU. I don't think you can mount your Newton onto the desktop.
Good luck!
