Yes I have no serial ports, but I do have a keyspan serial adapter.
Why wouldn't that work?

I will install the LAN Software on the Newton today or in the next
few days as I recently brain wiped my Newton intentionally a couple
of weeks ago. I will try again and report back.

Well the download I made of Mac OS 7.5.5 came with a browser called
iCab but when I launch it I get the following error displayed in the
browser window: "The iCab-Preview is expired. Please get the latest
version of iCab from the iCab download page." The last three words;
iCab download page, is actually a link but when I click it nothing
happens.

For some reason, probably an ill configured control panel on the Mac
OS 7.6 side, I am unable to reach my OSX machine and am sort of stuck
on island, I can't get to the outside world from BasiliskII and I
don't know how to properly configure the control panels on Mac OS
7.6, well I'm assuming it's a control panel at fault…any insight?
