So what do you think are the requirements to be a Unix administrator then?

What are your qualifications anyway?

In your CV you say "Administrator of own electronic publishing site 
(www.startext.co.uk) since 1994"

However when I telnetted to that machine it said "This web server is the 
property of Demon Internet."

There is also the issue of why you would want to have an open telnet port on 
the Internet, but that's another discussion.

NB  I have CC'd this message to the list as you apparently desire.

Can you configure a portmaster port to use SLIP all the time?  When 
connecting two machines via a dedicated null-modem link SLIP is easiest as 
one end can be rebooted without affecting the other.

Otherwise just set them up with a PPP chatscript that does:
""  RING
ATA  "CONNECT 115200"
then the usual logon stuff.

traffic through pc serial port??

2000-11-01 Thread Dave Adams



Hi Folks,
 
i have a customer that want's a direct connection 
into our system, they are sharing offices with us and don't want to go to the 
expense of modems etc.
is there a way i can run a serial cable from a 
portmaster 2e to their gateway machine's serial port and therefore give them a 
115200 connection?
 
thanks for any comments
