Hello all,

Does anybody know how can I share character device over the network?

I know how to share block devices: GNBD, AoE and so on.
But have no clues about sharing character devices, 
like /dev/ttyS0 for example.

I'm aware of
http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Linux-Modem-Sharing.html
but I want to find other possible solutions.

This task is related to Xen U-domains live migration.

Thank you for any ideas.
