Yes. There is a shareware package on the nets called comt - it is a Windows
comm port redirector that uses telnet. I have a copy I grabbed a while back,
but you might want to run archie to look for the latest version. (I grabbed
it to test before I recommended it. I've had a number of people use it here
and my old job and it seems to work fine.)
