Easy way to get your serial based machines on TCP/IP, Amiga and Apple IIGS

So ive been dabbling alot with linux, And ive devised a way to get your older machines online via serial. To start you need a null modem cable or adapter A TCP/IP Stack on whatever machine you decide to run on that supports PPP. I run MiamiDX on the Amiga 2000, and Marinetti on the Apple IIGS. Client Setup is like this IP address: Gateway: the IP address of your linux box DNS: use the DNS servers of your ISP or use google public DNS Basically all you need to do is install pppd in your favorite linux distribution. Then create a shell script that looks like this, Replace ttyUSB0 with whatever serial port you are using. Replace 192.168.1.105 with the IP address of your system, then replace 192.168.1.106 with the IP address you plan to give your client system. #!/bin/bash sudo pppd debug -detach proxyarp persist 192.168.1.105:192.168.1.106 ttyUSB0 19200 Then fire up your client machine and you should be able to get right online :) Im going to do this on a RaspberryPi next so I can have a nice small box to do what I need.
