Any free application to redirect serial communication to TCP/IP? [closed]

Please can anyone suggest a free application which creates virtual serial ports and any traffic on that port is redirected to given TCP/IP address?

"If this is for Windows, then see HW VSP3 - Virtual Serial Port

HW VSP is a software driver that adds
a virtual serial port (e.g. COM5) to
the operating system and redirects the
data from this port via a TCP/IP
network to another hardware interface,
which is specified by its IP address
and port number.

Main Features

Free, unrestricted Virtual Serial Port driver for any TCP/IP devices
Compatible with Windows 2000, XP (Win 98, NT) and Windows Vista
Runs as a standalone application, or as a NT service suitable for servers
Option to start at Windows startup and minimize to System Tray
Single-port (free) and multi-port (commercial) version
Supports RFC 2217, allowing to change remote serial port parameters (such as speed, parity, stop bits) over TCP using NVT
VSP driver typically operates as a “TCP client”; however, it can also be used as a “TCP server” (useful for GPRS applications)
Configuration stored in an INI file
Configuration protected with a password
Supports UAC (User Account Control – user switching in Windows XP and Vista)
This software is FREEWARE, as long as you comply with the license terms and conditions"

"I just found TCPCOM32 and there are also some other projects at SourceForge which are doing such a thing.

Also, what operating system?"
