Connect pc to linux with tcp/ip without a network card
If you are like me and are trying to figure a way to connect your windows
pc to a linux system without a network card than you may find these links
handy.
I've found several sites that offer freeware, shareware, and trialware that
connect the pc to linux via tcp/ip connection of the serial port.
Here are a few that looked promising. Though I've downloaded several so
far, I haven't tested any of them yet to see if they are simple comm
programs or something better. The comments are from their respective web
pages.
If you are familiar with these please let me know.
