I think the note limit is specific to only NCU. However, the fact you
have DOSBox working with Slurp has me intrigued. There are guides
online that show you how to get Windows 3.1 running on DOSBox. Maybe
the combination of Win3.1, DOSBox on Linux would work. I tried this
setup a while back on my PowerBook, but I don't think serial ports
work in the OS X/PPC version of DOSBox.

That would be awesome. Maybe you could create a page at the Newton
Knowledge Wiki. I'm in the middle of relocating for a new job so my
ability to test and play around with the Newton has diminished.
