Unfortunately, there aren't much solution for a 130 with an Ethernet card.
The problem is that using Ethernet requires "Newton Internet Enabler v. 2.0"
and that requires Newton OS 2.1. Since your 130 does Newton OS 2.0, it won't
work. Same for 802.11b. Try to see if you could upgrade to a 2x00 or an
eMate.

Sorry...

geek n.: A person who has chosen concentration rather than conformity; one
who pursues skill (especially technical skill) and imagination, not
mainstream social acceptance. Geeks usually have a strong case of neophilia.
Most geeks are adept with computers and treat hacker as a term of respect,
but not all are hackers themselves - and some who are in fact hackers
normally call themselves geeks anyway, because they (quite properly) regard
`hacker' as a label that should be bestowed by others rather than
self-assumed.
