I click on the link (using firefox on linux) and get a dialogue asking what I should do with a file named h5bhn2qa.bin coming from http://homepage.mac.com. The file is empty, but it's there.

Sorry for the inconvenient, Firefox on Mac didn't show the problem you reported. Please try this link instead:

Can you point me to where I can find free Newton software? Most of the stuff at UNNA seems to be crippleware.

Daniel already pointed to some of the best links where to find free Newton software.
I might add this one too http://pda-soft.de/software.html

Two questions. First, why does this link try to download an apparently empty binary file?

That's just a direct link, i can't imagine what have made you think it's something to download.

Second, is this app going to be open source? A couple of years ago I picked up a Newton cheaply and played with it for a while and was appaled to discover that most apps for it were closed source commercial software. I can't imagine people are trying to make money out of a dead platform.

Most Newton software today is freeware.

Hello,

i am aware that some of the people registered to this list had been active Newton OS developers for years, then the most of you are just very skilled software developers,
so maybe you'd be intersted to take part to the initiative of upgrading the Newton Internet Enabler:

Hope to hear your feedback it.

Kind regards.
