Re: [NTLK] Newton can't connect error

First thing is to check whether the original (old) extensions that come with
NCU are installed and active on the Mac.
Second the cable you try to use with your Mac might be a modem cable and
that does not work for the Newt. You need a cable with crossed Rx/Tx lines.
