The link to remserial and net2kiss turns out to be exactly what I wanted.

I have a soundmodem TNC which is controlled by the AX.25 stack. digi_ned talks
to the ax.25 stack as does javaprssrvr.

Today I added net2kiss which talks to ax.25 and creates a virtual serial port;
the virtual serial port looks like a kiss TNC to anything that attaches.

Then I added the remserial to redirect that virtual serial port to another
machine. I connected Xastir to another virtual serial port created by
remserial.

So here's my setup.

Box 1 (server box)
Soundmodem/AX.25 (setup described in an earlier message)
net2kiss - net2kiss -a -i ax0 -s /tmp/net2kisslink &
remserial - remserial -d -p 23000 -s "9600 raw" /tmp/net2kisslink &

Box 2 (client box)
remserial - remserial -d -r 192.168.1.201 -p 23000 -l /dev/remserial1 /dev/ptmx 
&
Xastir - Serial KISS TNC connected to /dev/remserial1

Now if I could just get remserial to compile on cygwin I'd be very happy.
