You use the ethernet jack on the computer. Serial port routers are
available (I had one for several years before cable became available
here). These let you connect modems.

Ther *is* no ethernet connector on my computer, so i will have to see if i can find a serial port router, which i did not know existed.
Thanks.



there is a free router-project aviable called fli4l, www.fli4l.de, IIRC there is also some english sides aviavble. One of the (optional) packages allows also a serial Interface for Laptops or other.

Also take a look at www.ipcop.org, which is somehow similar, but I
don`t know if there is a serial Interface aviable...

hth
  Will check that out.
  Thanks.
