You need some way to connect the phone to the newton. Options are via a PC
card or via serial. What the newton needs is to see a regular modem that
answers to AT commands.
Sofware?
For faxes, probably you only need the modem driver. There are some at
http://www.unna.org/unna/drivers/modem/
For Internet, you need the standard set of Newton Internet Enabler plus some
clients for E-mail,Web browsing, FTP, etc. http://www.unna.org/unna/internet/

The one that comes to my mind is PowerTrans, http://www.travel-cs.com/

The ususal way to connect the newton to a desktop is via the Newton
Connection Utilities, if your newt is a MP2x00.
http://www.unna.org/unna/apple/connection_utils/ but they need a serial or a
ethertalk connection.

maybe http://www.unna.org/unna/applications/PocketHouseMap/
for project management, I don't use any, anybody?
