Sure. You'll need a null-modem RS-232 cable, also known as a Direct Cable
Connection cable. I use a 9-pin F-F cable by Belkin.
1) Go to "Control Panel"->"Add/Remove Hardware". Choose "Add/Troubleshoot
a device". Let it do it's search so it thinks it's doing something useful
for you. When it comes back with a device list, choose the first option,
"Add a new device". Tell Windows, "No, I want to select the hardware from
a list". When asked what type of hardware to install, choose "modems" and
then "Don't detect my modem, I will select it from a list". Under
"standard modem types", choose "Communications cable between two
computers". Then, tell it what port your null modem cable is connected to.
2) Next, go to "Control Panel"->"Phone and Modem Options". Choose the
"modems" tab and then pull up the properties for the cable to make sure the
baud rate, etc. are set up the way you want them. I use 8N1, 38400 here,
as I'm not sure how to tell JOS to go higher.
3) If you intend to share an internet connection, as I'm sure you will be
doing, you need to have "Client for Microsoft Networks" and "NWLink
NetBIOS" installed for the shared connection. You will also want these on
the new connection, AFAIK.
4) Now, go to "Control Panel"->"Network and Dial-Up
Connections". Double-click the "Make New Connection" icon. When asked for
the connection type, choose "Accept Incoming Connections" and then the port
you have your cable connected to. Do not allow VPN connections. De-select
all of the users on the next screen - you wont be authenticating anyway.
5) After you finish with that wizard, a new icon should appear in the list
of network connections. Right click on it and choose "properties". Choose
the "users" tab and be sure "Always allow directly connected devices...to
connect without...a password" is checked.
6) In JOS, begin the connection process as usual, but instead of typing an
ATDT command to dial out, you type "CLIENTCLIENT" and wait for the windows
box to respond "CLIENTSERVER". Begin PPP negotiation as usual.
I hope that helps.
