Whoa, weird coincidence. I'm just now trying to get this to work between WinNT 
wkst
and Linux. It doesn't look too hopeful so far. I installed a modem from 
'standard'
called 'dialup networking serial connection between two PCs' or something like 
that.
However, on the Linux end I ran seyon on the port to see what WinNT does when 
it goes
to 'dial' and it sends the string 'CLIENT' about five times and then pops up a 
box
which complains that the 'modem' isn't working. Apparently as is the M$ custom 
they
couldn't just stick with regular PPP. That would make their product actually
interoperate with other systems and they simply *can't* have that! Dirty, 
rotten, ....

Anyway, let me know if you make better progress than I. If I get there first 
I'll let
you know but for myself since I need this connection to work I'll probably end 
up
wiring the box to another NT machines. (Ugh.)
