I know QNX can do it, that was their main selling point lol It can be done, I remember seeing a net site about it with freebsd needed a kernel hack though and a small program the guy wrote, but did not provide slip or ppp, just the ability to use the serial terminals / dumb pc's as terminals for apps off the server :o) Kat. ----- Original Message ----- From: Doug Young <dougy@bryden.apana.org.au> To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2001 8:22 PM Subject: null modem . serial port networking > Where can I find a simply worded HOWTO for configuring machines > to communicate via serial ports ??.
