Re: [NTLK] Newton 2100 first sync: possible via ethernet?

You are correct about needing some software installed on the Newt
before using ethernet to connect to NCX.
If you have TCP\IP installed you can connect with it. If I recall
correctly You will need to activate port 3679 and connect via your
computers IP#

You cannot run Classic in Leopard so NCU is out of the question.

Other option is if you have a browser on the newt you can set up a
personal web sharing site and install packages via NewtsCape or other
browser.

Another option is to announce your location and see if someone in your
area can assist.
