 Closest I know of is what you probably found, in the Linux Modem
Sharing mini-howto. Allows you to connect to a remote modem via IP.
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/Linux-Modem-Sharing.html

 You might be able to set up a daemon on the local machine that
talks to the modemd on the other machine, and presents a fifo in
the /dev directory for devices to talk to. Not sure you could get
ioctl's that way, though.
