[SPARCbook] Merlin/Rocochet on SparcBook?

[Sunder]

Sure, just issue "AT PPP" then run your ppp client basically.  I haven't
tried it on a sparcbook, but I did have it on a PC.  In terms of the DIN8
to DB9 cable, you might try a Macintosh shop as they're the same
thing.  Just get one that's wired for hardware handshaking.  If you can,
see if you can get one in just plug form as that will shorten the cable
length and make it easier to manage. :)
