Assuming that you have a Siemens Notephone, it is pretty useless
without the modem. The modem is the only way that the phone and the
Newton communicate. I hope that you didn't pay too much for it!

The power adapter plugs into the modem, the modem slides onto the
newton and the modem makes contact with the phone using a gold plated
connector at the rear.

It does turn on the newton. The physical connection between the phone
and the newton is via the modem, which mates with the newton's power
connector and mini-DIN serial port.

Apparently, the Notephone was supplied with 2 manuals; a newton manual
and a phone manual. I only have the newton manual. It is in German only
and quite large. It is basically a German version of an OMP manual. If
anyone has a copy of the phone manual (which I believe has only a few
pages), please scan it and submit it to unna!
