Yes, even over IrDA ;) But for a serial cable, it's the same. You need
the NIE Modem & Serial module on the Newton side and pppd on the Linux
side. The settings for the Newton side are: Protocol: PPP,
Configuration: Server, DNS servers as needed, Advanced settings as
needed (I guess you'd have to set the speed, stop bits and parity there
so it matches the Linux side).
As far as I remember, this was my Linux command line:
"pppd /dev/<whatever your port is> <your IP address>:<IP address for
the Newton> noauth nocrtscts local"
e.g. for my configuration it was:
"pppd /dev/ircomm0 192.168.1.1:192.168.1.2 noauth nocrtscts local"
Worked quite well!
