I used these instructions to get Amiga and winXP connected over tcp/ip:
http://bwinton.latte.ca/Palm/ppp.html

more elegant solution is to get an old hub/router that has rs233 port!
I have one such device, it was supposed to use the rs232 dialup modem as uplink.
ebay probably has some as usual.

I think cisco still makes some new routers with rs232 port but of course those are very expensive and not for home use.

that way you don't need PC.

No, Cammy, I doubt that would work. I think that cable is used for Cisco routers, to connect them with terminal and configure/administrate them.

those Cisco routers/switches have rj45 instead of db9 connector.

we need here more than a simple cable, like ferix says.

@nonbelievers

well there are other things like email, ftp, samba,ntp..
it would be kind of cool just to see them running on a500 (even though zmodem would be faster)
