Once you are able to ping, it doesn't make any difference
whether you are using crossover (ethernet) cable, parallel 
cable or serial cable.  Everything you can do via ethernet 
TCP/IP, you can do via a TCP/IP serial or parallel link 
(it's just slower).  You can even mix them.  At one stage, 
I had an ethernet link between system A and B and a serial 
link between B and C.  When I dialed up the internet on A, 
I was able to browse it from C.
