Os3.9 <-> XP serial link?
« on: August 17, 2004, 04:04:38 PM »
Hi,

Does anyone know if its possible to set up a null modem/serial connection between a PC (using XP Pro) and Amiga (3.9), to share the PC's internet connection?

Since my (desktop) A1200 doesn't have ethernet capability, I've had to use my PC ever since I got broadband installed. I'd like to get the Amiga back online, but I can't afford to give it a network card, and to be honest I don't really want to waste any ports on installing one.

I've got a few cables lying around, including a null modem cable with the necessary adapters. I also have a fast serial port in the amiga. I'd like to utilise this setup rather than get any new equipment.

I understand speed would be limited, but I'm not that bothered.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

David
