There are such things a phone line emulators for pc to pc connection - so you could use RAS (or another PPP server) and do it that way.

Erm.... Govan (Glasgow) had some last night when I went in. Hardest
thing I've ever bought... literally walked round the store twice before
asking, to be told they were a pick a ticket then collect item..... they
couldn't find where the tickets were, so got one of "half a dozen" from
the warehouse for me..... if you want I can get one and post it on for
cost.

My "plan" is to get it to connect to a linux box (either by a modem on
the box or a null modem connection if someone supplies info about the
serial details....!) which would then allow me to have access to my
local webserver for HomeSeer related things, plus the internet via
ADSL...... I'm assuming there's something in RedHat which will allow me
to run a PPP server pretending to be an ISP, but I've not played with it
too much.

Cheers

Doogie
