Sorry.  Yes, the ends are NetBSD boxes in this case.

With netcat I suppose I would do something like

     cat /dev/ttyXX | nc -l -p port
     nc hostname port | cat /dev/ttyXX

on the two different ends.  Is it really that simple?  Will this be a
two-way connection?

Then I would use stty to set the serial device characteristics?  Does
this need to be done after the pipes above or are settings with stty
persistent?

Thanks for the pointers.

Cheers,
