umm... back on my MP130, there was a "connect via MacIP" option...
should still be there for OS 2.1...
There are 2 good utils for providing MacIP. Vicom Softrouter which is
expensive. IPNetRouter which is less, but has a bug that hits a bug in
the Newton and thus won't work for getting your Newton online via
MacIP, even though it will work for serving to many other Apple
computers.
Note this is NOT the more modern "appletalk over IP" protocol (found in
the "connect to server IP" Chooser feature in modern MacOSes) but an IP
protocol carried via appletalk packets, which can happen over serial
and thus keep your MP130 or whatever happy.
Details of MacIP success stories should be in the list archives, and
details of the IPNR bug are buried in the IPNR forums from their
author's website (look for Newton) and posts about it might just have
made the cutoff to be in Victor's Newtonalk list archives.
There's a brief mention in the Newton FAQ as well.
HTH.
