I would like to know if anyone's got any suggestions on a serial port  
redirector for Linux.  And, since there are a handful of other terms  
which define the same thing, allow me to illustrate my concept: I have  
an Axis 2490 serial server [0].  It has a serial port and an Ethernet  
port.  I want to create a pseudo tty in Linux, but instead of talking  
to a COM port on the host PC, I want all of that to be redirected to  
an IP:port (aka, the Axis).  I'm certain many of you are familiar with  
this already.

I have found a project called remserial [1], and it appears to work (I  
can issue commands to the remote serial device and get some data  
back); I have a serial device that I am talking to over Ethernet, but  
I am having data issues, and after trying remserial on a few other  
SMGL boxes, with identical results, I am beginning to wonder if  
there's some odd "thing" that makes remserial not work right on SMGL.

I know the Axis is working properly, because when I use a serial port  
redirector in Windows, I have flawless communications.  Thus, my  
problem appears to be with remserial itself (although, there are a few  
others out there on the 'net who are doing what I am trying to do, and  
they use remserial).

So, here's my main question: does anyone know of a serial port  
redirector (other than remserial)?  I'm really not asking anyone to  
help troubleshoot my serial server -- I just can't seem to find  
anything like remserial, and am looking to others more adept than I to  
offer advice...
