TCP to Serial Port in linux for Matlab access

Question

I have a CyberGlove that communicates over wifi by TCP. I'm trying to redirect this to a virtual serial port so I can access the glove's transmissions in Matlab. I've looked at socat, but I haven't been able to figure out how to simply redirect the data, and where I should redirect it to. I've never worked with serial ports or TCP before.

Thanks.

Why not use the TCP Port directly? Take a look at the TCP/UDP-Toolbox from from Peter Rydesäter: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/345-tcpudpip-toolbox-2-0-6
