That's exactly the set-up I'm using. Works great. I've got the
Stealth serial port which I typically use, but AppleTalk over
ethernet works too. (OS 2.1 req'd though)

No, I wouldn't say it's an easy transition, however Newtonscript's
not that difficult, just a bit steep at the start. If you've got a
grasp of programming you'll be able to figure it out. Download the
combined programming kit from unna, and keep the reference and guide
pdfs open at all times! Lots of source code out there now too for you
to tinker with.
Good luck and let us know when you need beta testers,
