There was IrDA (infrared based communication) that could be used for serial connections to other Newtons, computers printers and cell phones. It was slow though, so the better step up was an actual serial connection to either a modem or a cell phone (acting as a modem).
Later versions of the OS (2.1 for sure, and I think 2.0 could run a few specific Ethernet cards) had Ethernet (10Base-T, and technically 10Base2 I think) and Wifi (802.11b only) drivers written for them.
