I post this, b'cos no one of the post found contained exactly the solution I need.
Problem: want to connect my linux-laptop to other boxes (both linux and windoze) in order to exchange files and share printer. I do NOT wont to make the laptop a terminal, it shall work as it does stand-alone, but exchange data with the other box.
plz. DON'T tell me that nullmodem sucks and is too slow, etc. i know that... excuse if this may sound rude but i asked 4 help in several other forums before, and guess how often i was told that.
but since it is a laptop without lan built-in
the only way to est a eth connection 'd be to buy a pcmcia-lan card. this is imho too expensive for occasionally connections.
the slow nullmodem 'd be enough.
thx in advance, Freeshadow.
