I've recently become a fan of serproxy. Serproxy is a daemon that acts as a telnet proxy from a TCP port to a serial port on a linux box. This abstracts the serial port on my lab linux machine to be a network device that I can connect to from anyplace. It opens up a lot of nice possibilities and I don't have to deal with the indignities of minicom.
Oh, that's very interesting. I have been searching for such a program for quite a long time but most of these programs have some problems. Some of them cause file transfer timeouts, others need special software.
See also tserver (= Terminalserver): ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/tools/tserver-0.17-3.src.rpm
Do you know if there is also a tool available which maps a COM port on a M$ Windows PC to a TCP or TELNET port?
Try porting tserver...
