The thread actually says Mikrotik can't do what I'm trying to do...unless I'm missing something. Mikrotik can connect a telnet or ssh session to it's serial port, or it can connect the serial port to an emulated serial port on a PC.

What I have is a machine with a serial connection to a control panel, and I want to move the control panel to a remote location.

Could I somehow tunnel the serial connection from the device to the control panel with Mikrotik? There's no PC in the mix, just a serial DCE to a DTE. If a pair of Mikrotiks could do this, that would save me the trouble of buying something.

You can always use to mikrotik boards with serial interfaces or usb serial. Works quite well.

If I want to extend an RS232 connection over IP, what sort of options do I have?

It's for an LCD control panel for a piece of equipment. Google shows me lots of serial-IP servers where it bridges a telnet session to the serial port, but that's not what I'm looking for. I know you industrial control guys do this, so I'm sure there's a way.
