I have setup a ppp connection through a serial port between two computers with a null modem using these instructions. My Question is how would I remote desktop or access the host computer via the ppp connection? Is this possible?

Isn't PPP going to be very slow for RDP? Are you sure you can't use an Ethernet cable? – RedGrittyBrick Apr 14 '11 at 16:47
@RedGrittyBrick I agree RDP would not likely be the appropriate approach for a serial line, but there must be some way to remotely access the machine such as ssh... I am looking at this for a possible solution to change a few scripts remotely if need be. – Richard Apr 14 '11 at 16:51
If the other machine shows up (as I expect it should) in Windows Explorer under Network, you should be able to right click it's icon and choose "Connect with Remote Desktop Connection. – RedGrittyBrick Apr 14 '11 at 17:41

There is an SSH service for Windows

Some versions of Windows have a telnet service you can enable.
