[NTLK] Ethernet Connectkit?

OK, OK, I admit it: I've been a lurker and not active on this list for
eons.
My MP2100 has been sitting idle on a shelf. It's a shame, as I have a
good case, keyboard, etc. And now I've been needing a compact
computer with keyboard to carry to my office, and that can hook up the
Windoze network at work so I can print. And that will interface with
my Macs at home.

I've even considered buying a <shudder> Windoze notebook, but my Mac
sensibilities, not to mention my pocketbook, rebel at the thought.

And my Newton's serial connector is dead, I've never gotten around to
getting one of those gadgets that replaces it.

Then I looked on eBay tonight: gilgamesh21is selling

Apple Newton 8mb Ethernet Connectkit +Ultimate Software

(http://cgi.ebay.com/Apple-Newton-8mb-Ethernet-Connectkit-Ultimate-Software_W0QQitemZ110345848584QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPDA_s_Pocket_PC_s?hash=item110345848584&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50
)

This seems to be the solution to my woes, he has good seller
ratings....do any of you folks have any experience with this set? For
under $50, it sounds like a good deal.

(and I promise I'm not some kind of shill for the seller. I just would
like to resurrect my Newton!)

Thanks in advance
