I believe that the original Newton Message pad
connectivity software cannot be used with any newton
using OS 2.0 or greater!
You need to goto UNNA and download a newer version of
NCU.
Secondly, your packages you downloaded are probably
missing the resource fork information. You need to
download a program like PackType to recreate this
information for the Newton software to recognize it.
Btw, both of these questions are well documented in
the archives and the FAQ...just an fyi
Once you get these little things taken care of, you'll
find that the Newt is both "Neat" and "usefull"
