[OT] Small Hardware Networking Project

[Rob Cozens]

Hi All,

I am seeking professional assistance in physically configuring a 
Netgear FWG114P router and a Lucent Technologies Pipeline 75 ISDN modem 
to work in tandem.

I have two issues:

1.  Both the modem and the router include setup instructions saying 
that device's IP address should be listed as the primary gateway.

2. I am having difficulty finding a hardware setup that will 
communicate with the Pipeline, which has to have an IP address 
configured via a serial port before it can be addressed via Ethernet.  
I have tried varying configurations on all my computers (eg: USB to 
serial connectors, several different terminal emulation apps) and the 
only configuration that even partially works is the ZTERM app via the 
serial port on my original G3 PowerBook.  This is the only 
configuration that draws a response from the modem to a request for 
it's setup menu...but the response is garbage though the communications 
protocol is exactly as specified in the manual.

I will pay cash or offer Revolution scripting services to someone who 
can address my issues.

Please contact me privately if you feel qualified and are interested in 
walking me through this, or know someone else who might be.
