RE: [coLinux-devel] coSerial driver

[peter g. <plu...@p1...>]

the trouble with windows nat is it requires messing with settings on the
host

which makes it toally unsuitable for a coknoppix type distro

slirp linked to a virtual serial port on the colinux box should provide a
soloution that requires sero configuration on the windows side

Hello Erley.


Good. but what you use it for?
For an internet connection, I think Windows NAT function is enough.
Maybe "coUSB device" is more interesting,
because USB<->serial convert cable is very cheap.
(But I dont know what to use this driver also ;-)

really
anything for windows that you could want to communicate with a linux
program.
