Alternatively, you could keep this adapter (I assume its the so called Keyspan USB-PDA serial adapter) and, as you seem to be suggesting, get a different serial cable (i.e. a "p.c." one) for the "Adapter to Newton" side...
...If you still have your Newton Serial Dongle/Adapter, the required serial cables are (or at least were) to be found in every computer store.

Sorry, I don't have part numbers and I haven't gone looking for serial cables in a while but I _imagine_ they are still there.
