You can put a Newton MessagePad 2000 and 2100 and an eMate 300 very easily
on an Ethernet network. You can run terminal emulation on it, retrieve and
send email and browse the internet live with them.

There is no Office software, but there is NewtonWorks, which offers a decent
word processor, a spreadsheet module, a drawing module and a "calculation"
module which can handle formulas and stuff like that I believe. You can
export the word processor documents as RTF files on your desktop which can
usually be loaded in most desktop word processors, including Microsoft Word.
The spreadsheets you create can also be exported to the desktop and imported
into Excel.

For more information about the Newton, please visit "This Ol' Newton" at
<http://www.thisoldnewt.com/index2.html>. From this site, you will find
links to almost any other Newton related web sites.

There is also Newton Resources, specially for its Ethernet section at
<http://www.chuma.org/newton/>.
