    I have a unique application that will require some creative
    configuration of two serial ports on an embedded system. I haven't
    chosen a target board yet so I'm open to recommendations (low power, 2
    serial, and 2 Ethernet req'd).

    On one serial port there will be a MODEM and on the other serial port
    a device that is capable of dialing out. When I dial into the MODEM I
    would like for the the embedded system to act as a Dial-In Server for
    two other devices connected to the Ethernet ports. When the device on
    the other serial port dials out I would like the embedded system to
    "echo" or pass the serial communication through to the MODEM on the
    other serial port.

    So the embedded system will serve two functions.

    1. Dial-In Server

    2. "Serial Communication Valve" allowing unhindered communication in
    one direction and using the opposite direction for the input to the
    Dial-In Server.

    Is this possible?

    If so, how difficult?

    Thanks,

    John
