if you have installed one of the doc-linux packages, then look at the
PPP-HOWTO (on my system, doing zless /usr/doc/HOWTO/PPP-HOWTO works)
This has a section about using ppp over a nullmodem cable to connect to
other OSs
Samba is jumping the gun a bit at this stage : - you need to have ppp
connectivity working first, then you might want to think about
file/printer sharing.
