[Elecraft] K3->SteppIR via Network?

[Frank Precissi]

You try something along the lines of netcat?  Since you can look at the
info via telnet client, you can pipe it to netcat.  Netcat will send it
over the network to a listening netcat (on the pi) that you can redirect it
to the serial port that your SteppIR controller.
So in very loose linux speak (since the specifics you give are sorta vague)

On your server that the K3 is on:
cat /dev/serial | nc ip.of.rasp.pi port

On your pi:
nc -v -l -p port | /dev/SteppIR

Where 'port' is whatever port you want to send this across.

Look at the man pages of netcat (nc) for all the neat options that you'll
need to make this work.  I've never passed serial traffic over, but netcat
works for pretty much anything you pipe to it including a raw binary
streams.  Its cool stuff, like a swiss army knife for network communicatons.
