I mean some emulator I develope requires to have network capability. On the real machine it will run it has got serial interface to connect to PC. But I develope it under Linux first, and I try to test it. It would be cool to have something which can be fed by data and trasmit it as it come from a network interface. According for example vice, it is possible to use a serial port, which is linked to another serial port of the same machine. But this is ugly and I haven't got two free serial port either. - Gabor -- --[ Gábor Lénárt ]---[ Vivendi Telecom Hungary ]--[ lgb@supervisor.hu ]-- U have 8 bit comp or chip of them and it's unused or to be sold?
