[PLUG] Multi-Interface Networking a PiDP8 Simulator

["Casey Bralla \(Mail List\) via plug" <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

I just put together a PiDP-8 computer simulator.  (https://obsolescence.wixsite.com/obsolescence/pidp-8)  It's pretty cool and is helping me re-live my high school youth.

Right now, I ssh into the PiDP8 via wireless from any computer in my local network.  However, I'd also like to have a hard-wired network connection to an old Eee netbook terminal so I can easily take the thing on the road and show it off to others.

So, I want to:

• Keep the PiDP8 on the existing home wireless network so I can ssh in as required and run updates
  
• Keep the Eee PC netbook on the existing home wireless network so I can update it as required
• Use a cross-over network cable to connect the EE directly to the PiDP8 (no router between them) so I can telnet/ssh into the PiDP8 simulator, regardless of whether either of them is connected to the wireless.
  

Here's my current idea:

• Keep the existing wireless setups on both the PiDP8 and the Eee (set by configuration files, since both are text-only non-GUI systems)
  
• Assign an IP address on a different subnet to the ethernet port on the PiDP8
• Assign an IP address on the same alternate subnet to the ethernet port on the Eee
• Telnet/ssh via the ethernet cross-over from the Eee to the PiDP8

But will this work?  Wouldn't the system try to send the telnet/ssh via the wireless as the default route?

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Casey
