Well, either I would have to figure out
  1) how to tunnel a serial line over IP (probably TCP/IP to get error checking)
or
  2) rewrite the application to communicate over IP (probably TCP/IP to get error checking)

I have started on 2) but things have not gone as smoothly as I hoped
(this is part of the pain that I have earlier refered to).

1) may exist, but in my internet searches, I have not run across
   any such serial tunneling (I may be using the wrong keywords).
