W98 serial server -> Linux

I need to feed the serial output of a remote instrument to a linux based
server, via an intranet. How do i manage that?

Currently the instrument sends its serial output to a W98 computer. The W98
computer runs a serial server program (TCPCOM), which tunnelizes the serial
data through the TCP stack.

On another PC workstation, another copy of TCPcom receives the TCP/IP data,
feeds them to a local virtual serial port, and i can display or analyze the
data reading from such com port.

Now i need to bypass the local PC workstation, and to feed the tunelized
serial data directly to a linuxbox. I have tried to watch the incoming data
opening a telnet session towards the serial server address and the
appropriate IP port, but i couldn't display any incoming data.

Eventually i will need to place the data into a mysql database. Before
writing the parsing and importing code, i need to examine the incoming raw
data. How do i do that?

TIA
