The question about the broadcast address looks like a blind alley. I'll forget about that side of things.

The Newton will be on my Lan. It would run a very basic website, referring to other sites with which I am associated. It might run some of the NPDS stuff, we'll see (e.g. it has a Notes and Calendar server). For wol, I would connect to the index.html webpage it serves, navigate to another page most likely, and click on a button/link to send out the wol packet. The button/link would call the requisite script.

There is actually a boilerplate newtonscript for sending out a custom UDP packet in the programming documentation, so that part of it is easy. NPDS also has a scripting feature built in, and uses plain newtonscript too.
