That's because no combo cards will work. There aren't drivers for any of
them, and they never enumerate themselves as either network cards or
modems on the PCMCIA bus, so the Newton gets confused.

The "CT" designation only refers to the cable connector that comes with
the card - the CT uses a dongle with connectors for either RJ-45 UTP cable
(10BaseT) or coaxial ThinNet (10Base2). I own this card and it works just
great in my Newt.
