You may need a crossover cable instead of a regular cable, if you don't
have an Ethernet hub. If the cables you got aren't labeled, you can tell
a crossover cable by looking at the order of the colored wires inside the
connector. If the order of colors in the connectors match, it's a
regular cable. If not, it's a crossover.
It's probably easier to just get a small 5 port hub for $50 or less.
Plug the Newton and the iMac into the hub and go. Also allows for future
expansion to more machines (and you can chain hubs, too.)
