Serial-Over-Lan from Linux to Windows


Hi guys,

I am trying to port my physical rs232 interface bidirectionally from a pc that is running centos 5.5 via lan to a windows pc using some kind of virtual com port. (btw, it's a PBX)

People told me to use socat, but socat cannot create my COM1 device in windows.

Eltima Serial to Ethernet Connector cannot be run on centos because of >2.8 glibc version.

Any free/nonfree software/ideea i can use ?

UPDATE:

On the linux side i was able to user ser2net, now on windows side i am able to telnet to the host and it works correctly.

What software should i use on the windows side to translate from tcp to a com port ?
