That would be nice!
Once you get shell access for your Newton, anything goes! It's all script
based. Take a look at at EETransfer. I'm very sure it can be used to script
any interface we could want: email, net backups, shopping, news, hiking
maps, weather reports (wow, very exciting!)

But alas, I believe resurrecting the "actual" eWorld service for Newtons
would be much tougher than me just opening up a phone line to the world.
Besides, legal hurdles, you'll need a damn good programmer familiar with
the defunct protocols of the eWorld service, to help recreate them in the
Unix environment.
