That it does. It sounds to me like the XT running NetTamer talking to the
Linux box running pppd would be a likely winner then (terminal servers and
the like notwithstanding). I know this approach works, as I had my Palm
handheld surfing the web this way a while back. Does that sound about right
Samuel?

The bummer is of course you're stuck with a serial link, despite the
availability of a network. Constant, any chance your wife would give up
NetTamer for other programs with similar functionality? Can anyone suggest
any ethernet/packet-driver capable packages for DOS that might help?

If nothing else Constant, you might configure terminal (shell) access
alongside NetTamer on the XT. Perhaps you could introduce her to some of the
Linux shell-based tools that provide equivalent functionality, and possibly
open up more doors? Then you could move the XT more than 25 feet from the
Linux box. :)
