Jeff: This sounds like a solution to another use I have.
I can understand plugging the serial output from the Davis or whatever into the Pi, having the Pi plugged into the LAN, and that program you mention reads the Davis (as example) and sends it in some form over the ethernet.
But once the destination computer running the program which needs the serial data, how does the data on the ethernet get converted back into a form that the program (which is looking for a COM port) able to get those data from the ethernet?
It seems to me there must be some additional software on the receiving end which un-does this and makes it appear that it is coming in on a COM.
For instance, Weather Display has some options to receive data from an IP address, but those conversions are done within Weather Display station interface.
Am I overthinking this, or is there more I would need to do on the receiving end to be successful?
