It has been done before. If it helps, I wrote a ppp server howto awhile
ago for actual dialups - I think it is on Charles' site. You will not
need all the password setup instructions, obviously. Basically you'll
use PPP over the null modem cable to connect the two machines. For the
Dachstein release, you will need to use Charles' "Normal" kernel vs the
"Small" kernel to get serial support.
Good Luck,
Jon
