Hello!
Understood. It happens that for a purely local, meaning its only
visible in my work area/home this method works for now.

The difficult side will be in writing the software for the target.
I've already got the Linux box showing me Ethereal and tcpdump traces
as to what's going on and why SLIP packets, and sometimes PPP ones can
be sometimes a mess.

I did find an article from LinuxJournal dated in 1994 for a simple
method of bringing together two dissimilar systems together, the only
things that were similar about them was Linux running there, an Amiga
for one and an Intel386DX for the other. Most of what the author wrote
about I had already figured out, but its an interesting thing to see
someone else going through the same aggravation that I went through in
the beginning for this.

If anyone is curious this is to enable an electronics project to
present itself to the Linux box and be seen that way.
