You'll need to configure one end as a ppp server, the other as a client. The connection will be similar to a leased line connection, setting things up you'll keep this in mind (e.g. no hardware flow control, CD and such) Another possible thing (mind that the former will give you a +/- 8kb/sec connection) is to use PLIP, which is way easier to set up then PPP and is quite a bit faster. You can find a wiring sheme and plip instructions in the FreeBSD handbook. SLIP might be fine too if you only have a serial cable to link them up, again, a complete procedure is listed in the handbook. >=20 >=20 > Thanks > --=20 >=20 Gr, --=20 Axel Scheepers UNIX System Administrator email: axel@axel.truedestiny.net a.scheepers@iae.nl http://axel.truedestiny.net/~axel ------------------------------------------ Cleveland still lives.
