Google found the following: http://www.hw-group.com/products/hw_vsp/index_en.html which claims to create a Virtual COM that opens a TCP connection to a remote location. And there's the well known: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ser2net/ That runs on Linux as a listener, allowing TCP connections to communicate with a real port. Those two together sound like they should do the job... -- Shimi
