I use a program called socat to do this. It works great for me and seems
more reliable than just using a pty pair directly. This is what I do:
Set up socat's pty's:
socat PTY,link=/tmp/host-pty PTY,link=/tmp/pose-pty
On the pose side, set up the serial port to be /tmp/pose-pty
On the host side, set the serial port of the host software to be
/tmp/host-pty. I.e.,
pilot-xfer -p /tmp/host-pty -l
