we have tried successfully such an approach for remote controlling a 
transceiver and Pactor Modem via the Internet. I was running Airmail, 
connected to a virtual port on my PC. This virtual port was bridged over the 
Internet and forwarded from the distant router to the IP-serial converter. The 
Ptc-2 modem was connected to the serial port of the converter. 
I could use all functions of the modem and remote control the transceiver.
(38k4 serial Baudrate). 

Your LP-Bridge sounds very promising - looking forward to all these 
possibilities when my K3 is here.
