Very Computer

Hello all,
Is any one aware of a package/script that looks to AIX like a serial device,
but instead of handling an electronic uart, it actually directs the data to
a tcp port?
(There is an win32/nt package that does this called dialup-ip which makes a
virtual com port that any serial package can address and sends it out a tcp
port - this is what I'm trying to find an equivalent of)
Thanks
Glenn

There are a few (rtel, aprint, rprint, csportd, etc.)  Give a try to Netty from
http://www.flash.net/~laixsoft which does what you are looking to do.

Best regards,
Paul

How about a scriptable communications package that can make connections to
arbitrary TCP ports?  Like C-Kermit:

If you say what you are trying to do, rather than how you want to do it, you
might get a more helpful range of answers?
