[NTLK] Need some help

Apologies. That should read “Modem or PRINTER port.”

Sorry for any confusion.

I have NCU on my Powerbook G3 Running Classic 9.2 but cannot remember how to connect the Newtons to the Powerbook. What kind of cable do I need? Which of the ports on the Powerbook do I use? I have the adapter for the MP2000. I also have a Farallon Ethernet card.
