The latter one is absolutely correct. It is no current "real life"
problem that I have. Maybe some of you know Lucents "Ethernet/Serial
Converter", which is a device for use in a wireless network. This
converter's main job is to "translate" any ethernet device to the
wireless network and vice versa (for those devices that can not be
extended with a pcmcia card, such as network printers). But the second
task it can perform is to connect two serial devices over the wireless
lan.
If you have two converters talking to each other, the connected serial
devices think that they are directly connected to each other. But they
are not, there is a wireless network link in between them.
I wondered how this has been achieved and if someone tried to implement
such a program for Linux.
Bye, Mike
