[svlug] serial port "forwarding"

[Ivan Sergio Borgonovo]

I've to program an st6265. I've a hw simulator that connect with the
PC with a serial cable. The software for the simulator exists just
for Windows but seems to run happily under wine.

My desktop is an amd64 on which I had problems to run wine.
I tried to compile from source, I tried to install a 32bit sid
chroot but I didn't succeed.

Now the Win soft is running on my wife's 32 bit ubuntu under wine.

But the simulator have to be in sight and touch reach (leds,
potentiometers and such...).

Since serial ports are just symlink in wine directory to tty I was
wondering if there is any way to "forward" the serial port over the
network and attach the simulator to my PC, let the software run on
my wife's PC and controlling it through X forwarding.
