Cool! How do you transfer documents to your main computer?

I've got a serial-to-USB adapter, and NCX [0] by Simon Bell is a fully-featured device manager for importing and exporting documents, installing packages etc. It's basically a modern replacement for Apple's old Newton Connection Utilities.

Thanks so much for bringing this up! I had lost all hope. I might get out my old eMate and MessagePad!
Cool! Love to see new tools for old hardware.
Maybe this?

In addition to the expansion slot, the eMate also featured a single non-CardBus PCMCIA slot. It could be used for a number of different cards, including modems, ethernet cards, wireless cards, bluetooth cards, and flash memory (linear and ATA/Compact Flash).

edit: OP answered!

Yes, with a compatible WiFi card you can get it on the internet. Simon Bell also maintains a Newton email client.
