Hmmm ... doesn't the G3 PowerBook have a serial port? What model are

It wants you to do the following:
(1) Click the Extras icon on the screen
(2) Click the Connection icon
(3) In the window that shows up when you do step 2, click the
Connect
button

If you find you do have a serial cable and your PowerBook does have a
printer port, you're in business; otherwise, Laurent's suggestion
above should do the trick. My 2nd Newton was a 120, and I used a
Keyspan adapter, Newton Connection 2.0 and a serial cable to connect
to my Blueberry iBook (I so need an upgrade .....).
