One side of the string (/dev/tnt0) is tcpser, the other side of the string (/dev/tnt1) is (in my case) DOSEMU - which is configured it as COM1.

So when a dos program opens COM1 and sends "AT", tcpser says "OK".

If you "ATDT <something>", tcpser will attempt to make a connection to whatever <something> is resolved to. If it connects, then anything between the TCP socket will be sent to COM1 and visa versa.
