Oh, gosh... I guess I wasn't clear enough. I am not interested in doing NAT or Masquerading -- I'm on a cable modem, and have NAT already set up. What I was looking for is my workstation being able to use server's modem to do stuff like faxing and dialing out to a BBS. Can I set up a comm port on one machine, but so that it would be actually using comm port of another? Like permanent comm port tunnelling or something of that sort?
