    anyone know if its possible ?, have a very small linux bridge box under 5w running linux and have std ethernet input, and std serial output so all computers with serial ports can use internet as it was a old 300 baud modem ?
    if its already done, i like to have one :=)

    i dont need usb isdn adapters !

    I think I get what you're trying to do. First off, to answer your question, I personally don't know much about any bridges with serial ports, but I'm sure something is out there. Otherwise, if you don't mind using more watts to power a computer to use as a bridge, you could go that route.

    Hello All!

    anyone know if its possible ?, have a very small linux bridge box under 5w running linux and have std ethernet input, and std serial output so all computers with serial ports can use internet as it was a old 300 baud modem ?
