Background

We want to run an FTP server on a Red Hat Enterprise OS. The problem is, the machine we have does not have an Ethernet port/interface (please don’t ask why; it’s just a project requirement).

We only have a serial port.

Question

Is there COTS / open source software that I can use to make serial port “look” like a an Ethernet port? My project is commercial. We run Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3.

Note:
Pardon me if my post title is unclear. If you can think of a better title, please suggest or simply change the title.

    You should also be able to use PPP (point-to-point protocol) to another endpoint over a serial connection.
