Yes it is possible, depending on what you want to do 1 remote terminal then you can use the serial line as connection to a terminal http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Remote-Serial-Console- HOWTO/index.html on Charles pages there is also a howto ( more compact ;) ) 2. You want a real ip to do some firewall testing auditing etc, in that case you run a pppd server on one and a ppp client on the other ( in reality these are the same programms :=) http://www.thelinuxreview.com/howto/ppp/index.lxp?lxpwrap=c1768 %2ehtm one link from the ppp howto. > Just something I was thinking of this weekend...
