The software always accesses the hardware on the machine running your program,
not the hardware of the machine running your terminal-program. There is no
easy way to change this behaviour, because there is normally no network-
protocol for direct hardware-access...

You can use the serial port of the linux box from every program running on
the linux-box, there is no difference, where the program send terminal output
to... but it is not easily possible to access the serial port of the linux
box from a programm running on the windows box or vice versa.
