I wish to setup a PPP link between two Colgate boxes using the serial ports,
however all th HOW-TOs only seem to cover this using a modem. I don't need
modems as the two PCs are back to back. I wish to route between the two boxes
across the serial link. A cut down version of my network looks like this:

      +------------------------------+
      |  Token Ring (10.1.1.0)       |
      +--+---------------------------+
         |                       
         |10.1.1.4             
         |                   
      +--+---+    10.3.1.0?   +------+
      | PC 1 +----------------+ PC 2 |
      +--+---+   Serial Link  +--+---+
         |                       |
         |10.2.1.4               |10.2.1.3
         |                       |
      +--+-----------------------+---+
         Ethernet (10.2.1.0)

Can anyone point me the right direction with this, is there a "better" way
than using PPP, bearing in mind that I wish to route across the serial link.
