Remote acces to /dev/ttyS*

Hi all!

There are two linux machines: machine A have some hardware connected to
serial port, machine B one has application which should connect to this
device. The question is how to do it ? I've tried to use netcat, but I'
don't know how to connect it to /dev/ttyS0 in two-way mode.
I'll be glad to get any solution for this. ( At the moment, there is no
way, to change application ).

best regards
Jarek

Surely you are after 'network block devices'? http://nbd.sf.net/

Alternatively plug the equipment into machine B
