Can't you just run PPP (without a modem) over the serial link?
That requires a non-trivial amount of compute power free on the PC.
Perhaps if you were using a software-driven modem or running an extremely
high-speed serial (ie. T1) but he's using RS-232 and he's not using a
modem. Even an old 386 can run a decent PPP link with VJ header
compression on a 115kbaud serial link as long as it's got a decent UART.
A lot of folks have done low-speed routing with Linux boxes that way years
ago.
