Make a TELNET CONNECTION exposed as a Virtual COM to the OS

I have a Window application that can be connected to a device through Serial Port.

I would like to have a sort of remotization of the device.

To Do this the device is connected to a remote board with a processor that run Linux OS and I'm using Ser2Net to transport serial communication to Ethernet Protocol.

Of course if I connect it via Telnet I can connect the remote device but this is not my target.

I have a Windows application, as mentioned before, and the only way to connect it to the system is via COM port.

Is there any easy-way to make this serial over ethernet be spawned as a Virtual COM?

Thank you! Ale_Trex
