I would suppose that you could if you could train serial link to their
routers on other end. There has to be something that converts serial
connection to Ethernet - that is where the Cisco 67X comes in and it's a
relatively low cost reasonable performance product. The problem was the
vulnerabilty to the code red worm - from what I have seen from 2.4.3
update, the problem is solved, is easy to obtain and install and that is
the end of the story.
