RE: Mapping Ethernet to mimic serial ports?

["Duke Jones" <Duke.Jones@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wanted to see if I could get a little help from the crowd on trying to
speed up a data feed. I have some software that recognizes only serial ports
in the program setup. What I would like to do is take advantage of the speed
of Ethernet over serial ports. I use DTN Satellite feed and the 8000+ boxes
support Ethernet connections. Is there a way in either XP or another program
to map the Ethernet connection to mimic a serial port so that the software
will work using this type or arrangement?
 
Any clues on how to attack this would be great.
 
Thanks
