The Newton only recognizes (and is able to use) two AppleTalk services:
printing and NCU. If it doesn't find either of these services running on
a computer /printer it finds on AppleTalk, it won't show up. If you run
NCU on one of those Macs, and set its connection settings to AppleTalk,
then it will show up in the browser in Dock.
