Just make sure that your card on your Newton is configured for AppleTalk.
Then, on your iBook, depending on whether you're using OS 9 or OS X, you
will have to make sure that AppleTalk is configured for Ethernet. In OS X,
you don't have any choice so you just need to make sure that you checked the
checkbox that says "Make AppleTalk Active" in the AppleTalk pane. In OS 9,
you'd do it by opening the AppleTalk control panel. You should connect
easily.
To connect to your LAN, just create a new setup with Internet Setup. Create
a new generic setup, then tap "Connect using" and select the "Ethernet"
item. The rest should be easy to configure.
