Unfortunately we do not have ethernet in the office,, so I have to connect via a serial line to the unix box that is actually on the net. Eventually I intend to get a slip or ppp thing compiled on the main unix at work (a pyramid DC_OSx) but until then, I need to deal with the problem of using the poor thing as a terminal. Is there a nice way to connect with just a serial connection? Thanks Soren
