[gentoo-user] Serial port over ethernet

[Zdenek Travnicek]

Hi everyone,

I would like to connect serial port from remote machine to my laptop and use
it for PIC programmer. (both machines are running gentoo)
It's easy to tunnel data using nc or similar tool, but it won't give me
ioctl access to the port itself. (Or did I miss something?)
Is there any tool/project that exports the whole device and make virtual one
on the local side?
I searched google for quite a while but without any success. There are many
standalone devices for rs232->ethernet->rs232, but I don't want a standalone
device...

I realize it will be slow, but I dont care for lower speeds.

Thanks for any hints and advices
