EXAMPLE FOR REMOTE TTY (TTY OVER TCP) USING SOCAT
You have a host with some serial device like a modem or a bluetooth interface (modem server) You want to make use of this device on a different host. (client)
1) on the modem server start a process that accepts network connections and links them with the serial device /dev/tty0:
$ socat tcp-l:54321,reuseaddr,fork file:/dev/tty0,nonblock,waitlock=/var/run/tty0.lock
2) on the client start a process that creates a pseudo tty and links it with a tcp connection to the modem server:
$ socat pty,link=$HOME/dev/vmodem0,waitslave tcp:modem-server:54321
