I'd suggest creating a small network using PPP over your serial ports (you would need a null-modem cable for this). You can then use telnet on A to work on B, and can even run X apps on B. There is a section on this in the PPP HOWTO (packages doc-linux-text or doc-linux-html). Good luck, Robert -- Robert Vollmert [EMAIL PROTECTED]
