The info is here: http://www.chuma.org/newton/ethernet/
For 3Com cards 3C589X (something like 80% of cases), you need:
http://www.chuma.org/newton/ethernet/FarallonEthernet.pkg (basic driver)
http://www.chuma.org/newton/ethernet/3comaddon.pkg (addon for 3c589)
http://newyork.unna.org/unna/apple/software/Internet/NIE2/REGPKGS/inetenbl.pkg
(Enet enabler)
http://newyork.unna.org/unna/apple/software/Internet/NIE2/REGPKGS/inetstup.pkg
(Enet setup)
http://newyork.unna.org/unna/apple/software/Internet/NIE2/ENETSUP/newtdev.pkg
(Newton Devices)
http://newyork.unna.org/unna/apple/software/Internet/NIE2/ENETSUP/enetsup.pkg
(Enet Support::Is this needed? I don't have it!)
For CXE589, the following is needed instead of 3comaddon.pkg.
http://newyork.unna.org/unna/apple/software/Internet/NIE2/ENETSUP/enetsup.pkg
Other D-link, TDK devices are probably not so common.
On the newton, for TCP dock, TCPDock is required, in the DIL tester
package. This should be tested, as it occasionally isn't installed properly.

On the windows/mac computer DIL tester/_something else_ is required. The
user can download.
For windows: http://www.tempel.org/newton/
For mac, I don't know what.
It's also worth including Nitro/Neo/IC$VC in case they've got a way to do
IRObex.

To a Windows PC, yes. I do it frequently to DIL tester (much less since
Neo). To Linux, probably not.
Hope this helps,
