I have 2 older desktop computers (old Pentium 1 processors), and I would like to create a simple network to allow them to ssh each other and share data. Problem is that one of them doesn't have USB, but only a serail port. I did a search of the archives, as well as a google search for "serial port networking", and "tty networking", but found nothing relevant. I understand that serial ports are very slow, but I see no other option. I have one monitor, and two computers (towers). I would like to install OpenBSD on both of them (temporarily switching the monitors for each install), and have one of them use the monitor, and control the other via the Serial Port. In short, what I would like to do is: Set up the computers so that one of them has access to the monitor, and full access to the other system, so I can use each computer's hard drive, run commands on the headless system, and set up simple file sharing between the two. I know how to set up the file sharing, and have used SSH in the past, but my problem involves getting a Serial Port connection to perform the required data sharing. Any suggestions?
