Thanks to all. My question is different from Floyd's.
I would like the process within the UML to have a ppp session directly to the host's serial port. So the pppd session within the UML sends data out the host's serial port. I believe this is not a problem. All I have to do is configure the device option on the start commend for the uml. Additional, I would like to be able to log the traffic. <sorry if this is a duplicate of sorts, I believe my last email got hosed.> Mark -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [uml-user] ppp and UML -possible? why or why not?

UML playing the role of a router talking with another UML playing the role of another router. A serial line (or something playing that role) linking both with ppp doing the transport of packets. The reason for this is educational. UML has a greate educational potential. Students, and schools, with few resources, can make possible the study/education on computer networks. If you use ethereal, or tcpdump, and UML guests connected as a network, plus the rigths books, tutorials and labs, then you have a valuable learning environment. The better it will be as more real the cenario can get.
