Okay, so I'm trying to see if there's some sort of way that I can use picocom to emulate a terminal over Ethernet. I'm buying a Lear Siegler ADM-5 terminal and bought two adapters - a USB to DB25 and an RJ45 (ethernet) to DB25 cable. I don't think the ethernet one will really work correctly, but...
