Hi Eric, Yes, the way you diagramed it is what I mean.
What I wanted was a mote connected to a PC that would look to any Linux application (e.g. minicom) like a serial port and would be connected to over a radio link to a similar mote and PC appearing as a serial port to any arbitrary Linux application. Like the serial line replacement mode available on the XBee radios from Digi. There the packetizing and retries are handled transparently on the XBee module. Or another example would be the Lantronix Matchport serial to Wifi module.
