Yes, you can sync, install packages, restore and backup via ethernet
with NCU (use 1.0, there's not a 2.0 as was mentioned before).
Check the FAQ or Newton Resources <http://www.chuma.org/newton/> on
what cards work and what drivers you'll need. Most can be found for
under $20 on ebay or at close-out computer stores. I'm sure someone
will pipe in with a source here in a minute. The most common are the
3com 3c589c or the 3cxe589dt, I think. YMMV.
And yes it's MUCH faster. Once you use it, you won't go back.
later,
