Ok Ithink its the IP addresses that are the prob.

On the newton I have an Internet setup with the following config
Protocol PPP
Configuration Manual
UserID MYNAME
When closing, disconnect never
Local ip 128.0.0.5
Gateway 128.0.0.20
Primary DNS 0.0.0.0
Domain name at.home
Advanced settings 115200-none-1

On the Linux box - a file in /usr/local/bin called newt

#!/bin/sh
# This shell script starts the PPP daemon to connect an Apple Newton MP t=
o a
# Linux workstation.
# Linux-System-IP : 128.0.0.20
# Newton-IP : 128.0.0.5
# Serial device : /dev/ttyS0
# Serial speed : 115200
/usr/sbin/pppd -detach local lock passive proxyarp 128.0.0.20:128.0.0.5=20
/dev/ttyS0 115200

You have to use the above ip addresses - when your connection is establis=
hed=20
you will be able to ping/telnet/browse any machine on your network. =20

 =20
