Mike,

I suspect your Belkin router will not pass Appletalk. I think you have
two options:

1. Use a computer-to-computer network for the Wifi (I have no idea if
this will work, or how to do it, or if it is possible. I'm just
dreaming here.)

2. Install the TCP/IP Dock package from Escale. I don't know if it
will help with NCU, but it should let you connect to Escale.

Of course, you need to get the packages on the Newton, but you should
be able to connect to the internet and download them directly to the
Newton.

Good luck,
