Re: TCP <--> Com port

Hello,

There is a commercial SW product called "TCP-Com" (http://
www.taltech.com/products/tcpcom.html ) which allows redirection of
RS232 communication ports to TCP/IP connections. One can access a
number of RS232 ports on a remote computer via TCP/IP connection to
that computer. It also allow creation of virtual RS232 ports so that
existing SW applications for RS232 can transparently use TCP/IP
connection.

QUESTION : Is there any open source, Linux version of TCP-Com like
application?


There's even an RFC for it.... But the name escapes me. It exists, I've used it.

Google for telnet protocol over tcp or something similar - you should hit on the RFC, and go from there.

One caveat:

There are linux servers and linux clients, GPL/OSS and free. The Windows clients are $$$.
