I think that MacIP is when you use Ethernet over LocalTalk, so it's kind of
related to the LocalTalk bridge.

But now that I think about it, I don't think that the Newton has the ability
to use MacIP. The only way to make an Ethernet connection that seems
possible is through the use of an Ethernet card. I don't see any MacIP
choice anywhere.
