This is a bit of an unusual connection style. Any ideas how to achieve
it? I think I'm suffering tunnel vision, and I could use a few clues to
help expand my vision.
At the remote site is a modem-like device. The remote site uses DHCP
addressing, and NAT to get to the Internet, so I'm thinking that the remote
site would use telnet-to-a-high-port to reach the server... likely a 1- or
2-port console server, triggering off the DTR to establish a connection to
a known destination automatically.
local modem console server? (auto-telnet to IPaddr:port)
`------RS-232 cable------'
At the IP address (the server), preferably a Linux machine, the TCP
listener would present as a local TTY. No exec/login function. A local
application would use the TTY port as though it was a locally-attached
serial port or USB serial dongle.
Best regards,
