PT100 supports both telnet and serial.
I assume you want serial interface, so
the problem is in how you are configuring
the serial port on the unix/linux box.
I have used my newton both as a serial
terminal and as telnet to connect to our
SCO Unix servers (as well as AS/400, hubs,
switches, DTC's, PBX, etc.)
If linux is expecting a PPP connection maybe
you could just configure NIE to connect
to it and then do a Telnet connection from
PT100.

Subject: NTLK newton serial console
well, i hope i'm still subscribed, after all the list hullaballoo lately.
anyhoo, my question for all the newton-using folk on the list is
this: how many of you have been able to connect your newtons to a
linux box?
specifically, what i'm trying to do is use my mp2000 with pt100 <an
excellent telnet/vt100 emulator> and a serial cable, as a serial
console for my headless linux machine.
i am able to connect via the serial connection at a variety of
speeds, but all i manage to get is a bunch of garbage on the newton
side and a bunch of debugging lines like this:
sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <magic 0xa5fbe62c> <pcomp> <accomp>]
on the linux side. it seems like the problem is the ppp protocol on
the linux box is trying to autoconfigure, and the newton doesn't know
what to do with those messages.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
