Any character-oriented /dev device will work. + +The program can operate as a server accepting network connections from other +machines, or as a client, connecting to remote machine that is running the +remserial program or some other program that accepts a raw network connection. +The network connection passes data as-is, there is no control protocol over the +network socket. + +Multiple copies of the program can run on the same computer at the same time +assuming each is using a different network port and device. + +WWW: http://lpccomp.bc.ca/remserial/ |
