I dot want to buy network cards for such a short period of time, so I guess, I need to use COM or LP ports. COM: Seems, like NT's RAS is aware of "Null Modem", fine. What do I need to do/know about the FreeBSD side? LP: No (well, very little) idea about either sides. But I do not have any available serial ports on FreeBSD machine, so would like to know about lp-option -- before taking one of the modems out. Thanks a lot!!
