Do you mean a piece of software that does the same thing as poking the
reset button on the Newton? Five Speed's Dashboard has a function to do
this:

And so does Avi's Backdrop:

     "There's a utilities menu hiding in the info button. Tap
      and hold on the button until you hear a squeak, and then
      release. The utilities menu comes up ... Selecting Reboot
      Newton reboots the Newton safely..."

And then there's Newton Rebooter:
