[NTLK] Getting back in - some E-Mate questions

[NewtonTalk]

> My NBU for Windows says its Copyright is 1996.

It's unlikely that NBU (Newton Backup Utility) will (apart from loading
packages) work with an eMate at all. Apple's Users Guide

<http://www.unna.org/unna/apple/documentation/software/NewtonBackupUtilityWi
ndowsGuide.pdf>

says on page 1 that NBU is for Newton OS 2.0 and that you should use NCU
(Newton Connection Utilities) for other Newton OS versions.
I know that it also works with Newton OS 1.3, because I think Apple wrote
NBU so that people could back up their OS 1.3 Newton 120,
send it to Apple to have its ROM upgraded and restore the backup under
Newton OS 2.0.

To the best of my knowledge you shouldn't need to set the baud rate. By
default NCX will connect at 38400 bits per second. On the 
eMate you should simply choose the connection type "Serial".
