Re: A simple network

   Is it possible to hook 3 or more PC's together using their serial
   port with Linux in order to make a simple network?  Where do you
   get such cables? 

Yes.  You will need two (or more) null-modem serial cables (sometimes
sold as "LapLink cables") from JDR Microdevices, Radio Shack, or any
of a zillion other places; and you'll want to read the PPP-HOWTO,
which can be found on the Web or in your /usr/docs/HOWTO directory
after installing the appropriate packages.
