Sorry, no infrared because of both your Newton and your Computer. Neither
are capable of infrared communication with each other. The Newton can only
do Newt-to-Newt comms, and the desktop for only what you described.

BTW, which model do you have exactly? You mentioned Newton Connection Kit,
which leads me to believe it's running NOS 1.3 or so. Only the 2k series
allows desktop communication via IrDA.
