This doesn't seem to have anything to do with networking. AFAICT you
need plain vanilla serial communication (RS232).
Have a look at the Serial-programming-HOWTO if you want to do it in C.

Yes, if the stuff comes in a constant stream you need icanon off. If, however
stuff comes in in lines i.e. terminated by CR/LF it's better to
turn icanon on.

It's very simple to do this with a shell script that sets the terminal mode
and then use cat, sed, cut,  etc.
Once you have it working that way you can think of other solutions, Perl, C
etc. At least I'd do it that way...
