+Anyone remember the good old days of dial-up connectivity? Well, nowadays every computer sold has some sort of Wi-fi or Ethernet connectivity, and our old computers are left to rot! Well, I'm planning on changing that! :D
 In this four-part tutorial we will build a Raspberry Pi that will be able to present itself as a serial modem to a client computer which will enable easy connection to Internet using their pre-existing serial port on any Windows 3.1/95/98/Me and any other operating system with built-in support for [[wp>Point-to-Point Protocol|PPP]]. In other words we'll be using a Raspberry Pi to translate a serial connection into an Ethernet connection. When all is said and done, your Windows 3.1/9x computer will be fooled to think that it's calling an actual [[wp>Internet Service Provider]] and establishing an Internet connection with them. This will in fact just be your Raspberry Pi telling your computer what it wants to hear, and is just providing access to the Internet using your pre-existing Internet connection.
