If it hasn't been answered already it would be relatively easy to
setup a virtual serial cable for the Windows boxes to plug into at
each end. The two linux boxes would have to have a spare serial port
each and one would have to initiate the connection. You just run null
modem cables from the Windows boxes to the linux boxes.
