Can I use a serial port as TCP/IP interface on Red Hat Linux?
- by ShaChris23
Background
We want to run an FTP server on a Red Hat Enterprise OS. The problem is, the machine we have does not have an Ethernet port/interface (please don't ask why; it's just a project requirement).
We only have a serial port.
Question
Is there COTS / open source software that I can use to make serial port "look" like a an Ethernet port? My project is commercial. We run Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3.
