I got a rather interesting question about networking. I've got two machines that I'm running. One is win2k, the other is FBD4.5, only one of which (the win2k machine) is on the network. The old Freebsd machine won't take a nic, so I was wondering if I could cheat and connect it to the win2k machine using a serial port? Would there be a way to connect my freebsd box to the internet by connecting it to the win2k box via a serial cable?
