My ears pricked up at this. What is TCPSerial exactly?
(goes and reads about it)
Ah. Okay. So it provides a virtual serial port on your Mac that listens
on a TCP port and shuffles data. Neat. Actually, for this you could use
UnixNPI on one end and TT's TCP/IP transport on the Newton, and from the
sounds of it you're talking about OS X connections. Yeah, I guess that
would work.
