There is a way to do this, using classic(NCU) and a direct modem to
modem connection, of course you need a modem for you Newton to do this,
but they are readily available, I like any of the USR/Megahertz
28.8/33.6 PCMCIA cards.
Someone on the list recently proved this works for circumventing the
whole Dongle/keyspan thing...
Hopefully they will chime in here?
