Unless you would use a Palm to temporarily beam from the PocketPC to the
Newton, no, that is not possible.

I don't know the PocketPC architecture, so, the first thing to check would
be whether PocketPC specifies IrDA transfer. If so, then you would need to
ask SmartDog (who wrote BackTalk) to add support for PocketPC platform. If
the support isn't there, I would guess that PocketPC devices don't use IrDA
for infrared connections, but I don't have any hard evidence for that and my
affirmation should be taken for what it is, a guess...
