Use Ethernet. Victor Rehorst's Newton Ethernet page lists cards and
drivers available for your Newton. Search Info-Newt (www.info-newt.com)
for "rehorst" and you should find the URL.
You can even use IrDA for some things (installing packages, transferring
text or graphics) using Sloup or EETransfer. Alas, you CAN'T use IrDA
with Newton Connection Utilities though.
And hope for someone to do a driver for AirPort or WaveLAN cards....

PocketQuicken is no longer sold by Inuit for Newtons. Use PocketMoney
from Catamount (www.catamount.com) instead.
