SLIP on serial cable

[Sean Porterfield <sporter@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I searched the archive, but I'm not sure what to search for (since I
keep getting results that don't match what I want.)

My AS/400 does not have ethernet or a modem.  I need to get files onto
it, though.  It's too much trouble to get tapes every time.

My thought was to use a serial cable to set up a SLIP connection to a
PC.  I haven't figured out how to do this, although I suspect it is
possible.

I'm on V3R2 and cannot upgrade hardware or software.

I can use a straight through cable or null-modem cable (I have both and
will use whatever works.)  I've considered a modem eliminator, but I
expect they are cost prohibitive.

Anyone ever try this?  (I plan to connect to a Linux box to get the
AS/400 on the LAN.)

Thanks!
