Yes that won't work in this case as it requires a serial port. What you
need is a card modem. There are lots of them around ebay, but only
certain ones work well with a newton. I would suggest either get one of
the Newton Card modems, or ask around before you purchase one to make
sure it will work. I have a Hayes Optima336 (model 5347US) and it
works fine. You might try J&K Sales last I knew they had some very
reasonable.
