If one wants to use tcpser to listen on a TCP port then send modem
commands to older software that is listening on a serial port, am I
correct in believing that tcpser "creates" a virtual serial port and
that the serial port you are trying to emulate does not actually have to
physically exist on the host machine?

Like, there can be a /dev/ttys0 but there does not actually have to be a
physical serial port attached to /dev/ttys0 in order for tcpser to
emulate that serial port?

That is the idea I get from reading about tcpser on the github site, but
wanted to be sure before I spend too much time playing with it on an sbc
that only has one physical serial port (USB to RS232 adapter) that will
be hooked to a modem. :D
