> I'm not sure what exactly you want to do, very simply .... network two systems. The reason for interest in null modem rather than ethernet is to effectively limit the bandwidth (presently 38400 for serial ports) rather than mess around with shaping (which probably needs a kernel compile & thats not practical in the immediate future). From reading the handbook the section on serial communication doesn't apply to my situation because it expressly excludes null modem connection via a multiport adaptor (one machine has 64 Cyclades ports) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
