Yes, this is the DaynaCOMM Roamer. Refer to:

http://www.chuma.org/newton/faq/newton-faq-hardware.html#IIB2c

This card will ONLY DO APPLETALK. NOT TCP/IP. This means that you could
do:

-Connections to printers which support AppleTalk (Apple, some HP)
-Connections to Macs running NCU or NBU

You could NOT do:

-E-Mail
-Web browsing
-anything internet-related

There would also be NO WAY to "encapsulate" TCP/IP over AppleTalk to try
and do these things, because the card is not recognized by NIE. It
operates totally seperately from NIE.

Sorry about all of the caps, but I want to get the info out there before
people start throwing things out and discussing in vain. It's just not
possible. SOrry.
