GridConnect Net232s will let you make a virtual serial connection over Ethernet or the Internet.
http://www.gridconnect.com/net232.html If you want to use them on the Internet, you'll need the ability to port-forward port 10001 through the routers on each end, and static IPs on each end. (Or a way to reconfigure the Net 232s every time the dynamic IPs change...) I've used these on both private networks and end-to-end over the Internet. We have a client using a setup to transmit a digital scale from Selma, AL to a server in Santa Maria, CA, making a 2200 mile virtual RS-232 serial cable. I also use a pair in-town to make a serial connection between a weather station and a computer between an ATT DSL site, and a Charter cable modem site 4.4 miles apart, part of it wireless.
