I'm not sure how likely this is to work, but there is a package called
ModemBridge, available on UNNA.org:

states:

    "What is ModemBridge? In networking terms, a bridge is a device
that links two networks, it doesn't do any routing, simply provides an
interface. ModemBridge is the interface between any computer attached
to the Newton's serial port, and a PCMCIA modem card (or IR port). In
practical terms, this means you can buy one modem, a PCMCIA card for
your Newton, and use it with all your computers, desktop, laptop or
Newton."
