Welcome to Newton Talk
I personally have no problem connecting to my Mac G4 using NCU in
classic via ethernet wired with Linksys router and wireless with
airport and wavelan Turbo Bronze (no wep).
I use serial to connect to NewTen.

Others have mentioned free stand alone extensions for handwriting
recognition but there are also two packages that add considerable
functionality to works
'Works Better by Stand Alone Software' <http://standalone.com/
newtonos/> and
'WriteStuff by Landsend <http://www.landware.com/catalog/newton/>'
Works Better will also allow the importation of Notes documents to
NewtWorks.

I don't use windows xp so I don't know know about compatibility.
You didn't ask but, Keep your eyes open for a 2100 logic board
