SerialNet is Made4MCL. Supports MCL versions 1.1 or higher. No additional dependencies required.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
SerialNet is a two-part program designed to link a modern system together with a machine running MCL.

Preparations on the host side:
You will need to be running some kind of Linux or BSD based system made within the last 15 years.
You will also need the following programs: pppd, ifconfig
Installing these on Debian/Devuan based distros can be done as follows:
sudo apt install iproute2 ppp net-tools


Running the server:
Make sure you have a serial cable (null modem cable) connected between your modern host and your MCL target machine.
Use "ifconfig" or "ip a" to get a list of your network devices. You will want to copy the device name of the one that is connected to the internet. This can be a WiFi or LAN device or even a mobile broadband card.
Now, run the following command:
./serialnethost.sh -netdev <your network device> -tty /dev/<your serial port>


Running the client:
Copy the serialnetclient.sh file onto your MCL machine.
Now run "./serialnetclient.sh".
To verify that everything worked, try "ping google.com".
