I'm looking for a serial<->ethernet<->serial bridge. It must be
bidirectional and support 8-bit data, only a few Kbytes/sec, to run over
a local network. I know there are hardware devices but this needs to be
CB-compliant so I'm looking for a software solution.
This is for a seismometer system that uses a rather long serial cable
between the A-to-D machine and the display machine. Recorded data can be
seen here (updated every 1/2 hour):

One end of the serial link is a DOS program connected to the seismic
transducer, the other end is a Windows program running under Wine on
CentOS that does display and analysis. This end of the the software
bridge should look like a serial port to Wine. At the transducer end
I'll put an old computer with serial and ethernet ports running a small
Linux distro to be that end of the bridge.
I'm not opposed to writing one in Python or ??? but would rather find an
existing solution or a partial one I can adapt.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Karl
