Look at options for simulating the serial devices.

[carwyn]

The following pages have some useful notes on how to use pseudo terminals to emulate serial devices:

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo_terminal
• http://justcheckingonall.wordpress.com/2009/06/09/howto-vsp-socat/
• http://lpccomp.bc.ca/remserial/
• http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/
• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/52187/virtual-serial-port-for-linux

Socat seems to be the most powerful as it allows things like catting files into the pseudo serial port.

Socat is also in Fedora as standard, probably others too.
