Re: Serial port tunnel...

[Robert Waldner <Waldner@KPNQwest.at>]

I guess you want to tunnel layer 2, not the serial port itself ;-)

l2tp is the protocol you´re looking for, l2tpd is the only
 implementation for *n?x I´m aware of <URL:http://www.marko.net/l2tp/>, 
 although at the moment it seems to only support PPP as 
 layer-2-protocol.
