Alex,
If I understand you correctly, you are trying to connect for file sharing from
a Newton to an OS X Mac?
Unfortunately, that's not how the Newton shares files. The Newton uses a
server client paradigm. NCU is the server on an OS 7-8-9 computer (or yours
if Basilisk is working). The Newton is the client -- looking for NCU and NCU
only. So install and start NCU first, then try connecting from the Newton.

(By the way, I only get digest - so apologize if this was already replied to!)
