hehehe... *erf*  Well... I got a null modem cable connecting my 386-40 and
my 486-66...  even at 115.2..... it was unbearable....  plus, it crashed
half the time.  But, yes, for pre-v1.2, there is a DOOMSER.zip laying around
at some ftp site in germany (use archie to find it ;)

I wouldn't recommend going this route...  Even at the fastest my UART's
could handle.....  it was STILL too slow...  too bad I have only one
ethernet card... :(

Good luck, otherwise!
