TCP/IP over uart

hi all,

I am trying to setup a network interface over one of serialports of the system.

I am using beaglebone and Xbee-wifi modules. Basically I’m trying to communicate 2 beaglebone over serialport bu using a TCP/IP protocole.

I need to connect to the beaglebone via ssh, telnet or via default web port 80. So I do not need a single port working on the serial interface. I need a newtork intarface running over serialport.

Is there anyway to do this?

PPP

You could always use PPP although I wouldn't expect stellar performance
From TCP/IP over XBees.

Hello,
Thanks for your answers. However is it possible to create a network? For example can I start a ppp server on one beaglebone and the others will conenct it via ppp. Is it possible?

SSH over PPP should work over XBEE’s, and SSH compression will help, as well.
