Thank for the info!
I Have read the emails and HOWTOs on this subject but I keep running into
problems. I have my linux and win95 machines connected via a null modem
cable on com1 and ttyS0. I run the pppd command:
pppd -detach crtscts lock 192.168.1.20:192.168.1.21 /dev/ttyS0 38400 &
and I get the error
[1]+ Exit 1 pppd -detach crtscts lock
192.168.1.20:192.168.1.21 /dev/ttyS0 38400
if I do a serial on ttyS0 I get:
/dev/ttyS1, Line 1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3
Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
closing_wait: 3000, closing_wait2: infinte
Flags: spd_normal skip_test
On my win95 machine I have hyperterminal up and I think I should get some
login prompt or somethign on the screen if this works, and I get nothing.
Anyone have any ideas as to what I could be doing wrong? Thanks again!
