I have a 486 machine with a modem connected to the internet. Then there
is my laptop connected to the 486 via parallel nullmodem cable (or
serial nullmodem cable). Now I want to access the internet with the
laptop via the modem connected to the 486. Has anyone tried such a thing
and how can it work.
One Idea is to find a program which runs on the 486 which sends all it
receives at the com-port connected to the laptop to the com-port
connected to the modem and vice versa (so that the 486 with the modem
appears to the laptop as a normal modem). Does anyone know a program
which can do this?
A more elegant version would be the use of  a program like Wingate or
so. But the problem is that all these programs (as far as I know) need a
LAN on the private network side.

Thanks for any suggestions
Tom
