I'm attempting to connect two systems via serial nullmodem cable. From what I can make of man ppp, its simply a matter of configuring one machine as dialin server & other for regular ppp dialout, then run "ppp -dedicated <ppp.conf label> Obviously there is more to it than this because neither "netstat -nr" nor "ifconfig -a" gives any indication that a connection has been established. The handbook description doesn't cover what I'm trying to achieve ... the client machine is not simply a terminal. It needs to run services like sendmail as if it was connected via regular dialup modem. Can anyone speak some words of wisdom on this issue ??
