If you are in a stituation similar to:

+-----+       +-----+
|Win95|       |Linux+--+===+
+--+--+       +--+--+  Modem
   |             |
   +-------------+ Ethernet etc etc

and you from you win95 machine to the linux machine you will be able to acces
the modem as if you were on the console of the linux box itself, permissions
permitting of course.  BUT you will have to do something special if you want
to run X (Gui) apps :)

: any comments would be appreciated

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.

Only need an X server for Windows and a little configuration to run X
apps repotely on the Win 95 console. :-)

Right, but I'm not sure that's Scott's question.  Scott's question
seems to be 'what hardware do the programs I run on the remote machine
access, to which the answer is 'the remote machine's.' A telnet session
is exactly like running a console session on the machine you have right
in front of you, except when telnetting the display you have in front
of you is actually displaying a session on a remote machine up to
several thousand kilometers away.
