Someone else mentioned PPP, and he's right. However, if you just want to acces your labtop, I find PLIP to be much faster and easier. There's a file in the kernel (plip.c) with some docs on how to make a paralell NULL modem cable, and connect the two systems. You'll get about 30k/s, as opposed to, I guess, at most 28 bits/s with serial lines. -- joost witteveen [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Use Debian/GNU Linux! -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
