[SLUG] [Kinda OT] Weird tty arrangement

[Andrew Macks <andypoo@nospam.secret.com.au>]

Just wondering if anybody could lend a few ideas on how to achieve the
following.

I have a link looking like this:

Box A (Win 98)
 | Intranet
  | Linux Box
   | Internet
    | Linux Box
     | Intranet
      | Box B (Win 2000)


What I would like to do is mimic a COM port on Box A which is linked to
another pretend COM port on Box B.

Does anybody have much experience which programs which do this and where I
can obtain them from?

What I am trying to do is get a game of Transport Tycoon Deluxe going over
the Internet :)

We've tried an IPX gateway, but it's putting too much traffic and the
latency is killing it.  The game also has null modem & modem options,
which I'm hoping have less bloated packet algorithms.

Andrew.
