IIRC the Intel Macs cannot run Classic thus no NCU.
Use USB/serial adapter and serial dongle on newt side and install
packages with Newten or Escale.
You can also use a web browser like Newts Cape or Courier to install
packages.

Wireless will be ok once drivers are installed if you have a
compatible wireless base station, see recent discussion.

Newt's Cape to get documents to the Newt. You can also install
packages with personal web sharing.
