Hi, Sergei!
Remember -- the Newton is not a Macintosh. Totally different operating
systems.
When you have a Newton question:
1. Check the FAQ (www.info-newt.com/faq/) and the other FAQ's it lists
2. Ask here
3. Ask on comp.sys.newton.misc
4. Check the Apple Newton message boards in their support area, or the
smaller.com Newton boards.
And the Newton has also been discontinued for over 2+ years and wasn't
that popular when it did ship so it's unlikely you'll find much in the
way of support directly from Motorola anymore (although Motorola DID make
it's own Newton model for a while; wireless too!)

I'm sure someone here can tell you how to get it to work (I think I
recall people doing so), but you should tell us WHICH StarTAC model you
have. There are many, as I recall. That'll probably be necessary to
answer your question.
