Want to connect my Suse 10.2 with my DOS computer via a serial null modem cable. I have a DOS program which runs as a NFS server with the address 192.168.1.3 Believe it will work. Name of the program SOSS Problem starts at the Suse box. I would have to tell the box that it is 192.168.1.1 (done) and that the NFS client has to work via the com 1 port with a speed of 115200. (not yet done) According to README txt it would work if I follow the instructions as follows:

insmod slhc ##not needed if kernel already has slip capability insmod slip ##not needed if kernel already has slip capability slattach -dvs 115200 -p slip /dev/cua0 & ifconfig sl0 192.168.1.1 pointopoint 192.168.1.3 route add 192.168.1.3

These instructions got me in trouble. Several error messages and up to now it still does work. Anybody with an idea how to connect? Think I have to make manually a NFS client etc.

Another approach would be to use something like lszrz under minicom on the linux machine and a DOS comms program with zmodem on the DOS machine. Already installed Mincom because of lszrz but have not yet looked into the

Two basic questions:

The answer to both these questions were in the original post :P

1) How DOS connects ? (MS-DOS 6.22 ?) It doesn't even have a TCP/IP stack.

SOSS

2) How you run IP-over-Serial ? Some kind of PPP or what ?
