So, I have this program that needs to dial something via a modem.  It uses
some /dev/ttyGXXX devices on a 48 port modem card under linux.  But, the
thing that the program talks to on the other side is available over the
network and supplies the exact same data on a tcp port, and dialing is slow
and can cost money if the app is running somewhere without a local access
number.

Is there a way to make those /dev/ttyGXXX devices spawn a network connection
to that particular port?  Can I rip out the module for that device and
create identical devices to emulate the modem and open a network connection?
The app cannot be changed, so it needs to happen at the OS level.
