socat: tunnel IP through TTY
Is it possible to get an bidirectional IP-tunnel over ttyS0-like serial (modem) devices with the socat utility? I tried to use TUN option but still can't get the result. Any suggestions are welcome :) Update: PC1: socat /dev/ttyUSB0,raw,echo=0,b57600,clocal TUN:192.168.1.1/24,up PC2: socat /dev/ttyUSB0,raw,echo=0,b57600,clocal TUN:192.168.1.2/24,up After that, I have seen tun0 interfaces with proper addresses on both ends but I can't ping one from other. Instead of that, when I send data with ping -c 1 192.168.1.1 remote socat process exits and it's tun0 device destroyed. Any suggestions?..
