Hi, I apologise if this has been answered b4, but I haven't been in this list for quite a while, and I did search the archives. I'm trying to connect a Win95 laptop to my FreeBSD (2.1) machine and basically have the FreeBSD host act as a gateway to the rest of the network. I was wondering if I could simply use a null modem cable between the two COM ports and trick win95 DUN into using that? AFAIK, DUN will wait for a dial tone, which obviously isn't going to be there. Any ideas? Or should I try PLIP instead? But is there PLIP for win95? :) Please CC all replies to freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org as I don't subscribe to the freebsd-mobile list. Thanks in advance. Len.
