don't you have any other serial port available?
I think I recall using this for an Apple Classic II. Smilie

I suppose since neither machine is networked, using Windows as the server is just as good. The other part changes the CLIENT CLIENTSERVER strings to normal ppp strings, though that should be taken care of with 'chat'.

I may give it a go anyway. I will probably just bring in my personal netbook tomorrow (to connect via ethernet).

I see no other serial port available.

Thanks.

Having more success. I misused single quotes in my chat script, and pppd wasn't reading ttya because it was already open. Using something like,

exec pppd file test.ppp

fixes most things but the terminal seems to be put back in cooked mode since I must hit enter after 'CLIENT' to get the 'CLIENTSERVER' response..

Almost...

I made link over ttya without messing with any services basically just logged in as root on serial console and type

exec pppd /dev/ttya 9600 192.168.1.2:192.168.1.3 nocrtscts local connect "sleep 20; echo CLIENTSERVER"

That was good enough. Maybe someone else crazy as me will be helped with this. Helps to have a couple ssh sessions verus a single serial console. Now to actually learn this stuff! Smilie

NAME
dc - serial line/mouse/keyboard SYNOPSIS
controller dc0 at ibus0 slot 0 vector dcintr DESCRIPTION
The dc serial line controller provides DECstation 2100, DECstation 3100, DECstation 5000, and DECstation 5100 computer systems with key- board, mouse, and serial communications interfaces. The serial communications interfaces on the DECstation 2100 and DECstation 3100 provide partial modem control. The serial communications interfaces on the DECstation 5000 provide full modem control. The device special file /dev/tty01 on a DECstation 5100 provides full modem control, while the remaining ports provide no modem control at all. All serial commu- nications interfaces operate at baud rates from B50 to B9600, excluding B200. The dc ports are used as follows: Usage Graphics device keyboard at 4800 BPS Mouse or tablet at 4800 BPS Communications port 1 (w/modem control)/local terminal Communications port 2 (w/modem control)/local terminal On all systems except the DECstation 5100, serial port 2 is used for the system console port in server (that is, non-graphics) configura- tions. On DECstation 5100s, the serial port labeled 3 on the back of the system is always the system console port. The serial system con- sole port always operates at 9600 BPS, 8-bits, no parity; modem control is not supported. RESTRICTIONS
Data communications equipment attached to the console serial port in server configurations must be set to 9600 BPS, 8-bits, no parity. The scc driver enforces this restriction. FILES
