[SLUG] Serial-PPP

Hey everyone,

Even though it's Mac hardware, it's still Linux. So here's my question: I've
got my one Mac on its lovely DSL connection, but my other one isn't. I can
connect my little one (running Linux as well, mind you) to the big via a
printer cable. But they can't yet talk to each other.

I was looking at the PPP-HOWTO, but the little blurb in section 29 basically
says to get a connection first through a getty. I've read the getty man page
but it doesn't seem to help. So, how do I connect my two machines via getty,
through their serial ports? The PowerMac's serial port is /dev/tty01 and the
68k-mac (the little one not connected yet) is /dev/ttyS1 (both the printer
port)...

Thanks!

Russell
