Hey Bob, how are things in happy valley? Anyway, I've done what you're talking
about
many times (for head-to-head linux Quaking!). Here's whatcha do: I'll assume
your
network uses the 192.168.1.0 network and your setup is this:
BoxA (192.168.1.1) BoxB (192.168.1.2) BoxC (192.168.1.3)
|-------- ethernet -------| |------- serial ------|
/dev/ttyS0 /dev/ttyS0
On BoxB run the following script:
#!/bin/bash
while true
do
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS0 115200 nodetach noauth proxyarp passive asyncmap 0
192.168.1.2:192.168.1.3
done
on BoxC run a similar script:
#!/bin/bash
while true
do
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS0 115200 nodetach noauth defaultroute asyncmap 0
192.168.1.3:192.168.1.2
done
(the pppd lines above are not supposed to be line-wrapped but I'm guess my
naughty
mailer will do this)
That should do the trick.
