Ah, you want remote access. You want to let the PC join the network even though it's connected via its serial port. That's very doable. It used to be pretty common for PCs to connect that way in the olden days. Check out the Cisco docuemntation on terminal services or access servers. Or maybe somebody can just tell you how to do it. Someone who has recently studied BCRAN could help maybe? What version of Windows are you using? That might make a difference for what you have to do on the Windows side. Priscilla > > > > > USB port.
