I have an application using a serial port to talk to some device. 
Unfortunately that device is located in another building so cabling is a 
problem.
I have a box from Lantronics that has a serial port and a 
WiFi-connection. I need to figure out how exactly things work but I made 
a "sniff" and basicly everything going to a certain ethernet port of the 
box gets transmitted to the serial port. Everything received at the 
serial port is transmitted to another ethernet-port to some ethernet 
address.
So I want the application to talk to a "virtual serial port" made 
available by socat (or something else) which takes care of transforming 
the communication to ethernet. The Lantronicx-box should take care of 
transforming back to rs232.
I hope this is clear enough.
Thanks anyway for the reply.
