ADSL modem shared with B180L- what is the kermit equivalent?


I have a B180L workstation and had a modem directly connected, not now.
I use a modem in shared mode, ie. ADSL is on a Win2k box.


How can I do the equivalent of kermit (set line /dev/xxx etc) now from the B180L, now there's no modem on the serial port?

Also how can someone log onto my B180L?

Do you need for info?

Before (when i had a serial modem) i could do
#kermit
# set line
# set speed
c
tel no

Now I'm sharing an ADSL modem

how can i connect to the same machine as i was with kermit?

The answer to your dilema is that you can not do this!

The modem sharing does not somehow allow for magical hardware devices to appear in any other machine.

It is simply a NAT (Network Address Translation) configuration.


If you want to use an ADSL or ISDN connection between several machines, buy a routing device. Linksys, Cisco, and many others make DSL/Cable routers.
