[WestTLUG] writing to another machine's /dev/ttyS0... how?

[john-Da48MpWaEp0CzWx7n4ubxQ at public.gmane.org]

One more idea. If you used the netcat (nc) method you need only open /dev/tcp/<hostname>/<port#> to read and write to the remote socket.

What exactly are you trying to do?   Are you trying to exchange information 
between machines over a serial link?    Do you want to do this inside some 
custom scripting?    If so you can readily open up a serial port from inside 
a Tcl/Tk script and read and write much as you would to a file.
