 This article is a kind contribution by our forum member **Neko68k**. Thank you for shedding light on this rather grey area !
-This article will cover configuring your X68000 for internet access using either a null-modem cable or an ethernet card. Neptune-X and Nereid should both work. You will first need to download the required software listed below. In addition to these you may also want to install [[http://nfggames.com/X68000/Mirrors/x68pub/x68tools/HUMAN/TwentyOne/tw136c14.lzh|TwentyOne]] (long file name support) if you haven't already.

-I followed the steps [[https://hackaday.io/project/20353-the-retroserver-networking-for-old-computers/log/54966-dial-up-and-ppp-server-in-modern-linux|here]] to set up a PPP server using Debian Stretch. Do not put 'local' in the file '/etc/ppp/options.ttyUSB0' and also add 'noproxyarp' to that file. I also used 38400 since this is the max for a non-overclocked SCC. I also changed ttyUSB0 to ttyS0 in the necessary places since that's how my serial port exists.

 I recommend creating a BAT file with the following commands:
