Hi all,  I was just wondering anyone knows how can I convert my laptop RS 232
port to work as a RJ 45, so that I can connect it to my linux network?
Perhaps, building a converter device?? I really don't want to spend the extra
money to buy a modem PCMCIA card for it. Anyone has any idea? Any info is
greatly appreciated. Thanks.

p/s: please cc a reply to my email ( chng@my-dejanews.com ). Thanks.
