Accessing Serial port via wifi telnet sesssion

Hi Guys

I have been playing around with Kobos for quite a while and currently have one running xcsoar (a gliding program) which connects to a GPS / Barometer via a bluetooth module I installed on the internal serial port. I achieved this by setting up the BT module via a TTL / USB cable on my laptop then soldered it into the Kobo.

Whilst this has been working fine a firmware change in the GPS device means I need to at least re-pair the module and I am trying to find ways to reprogram it while still in the reader. I have telnet via the wifi interface to the system and need to access the serial port to send the AT commandes.

I think it should be possible to
Code:
echo 'at-command' /dev/ttymcx0
but there is no way to see if this is working or even if the lf/cr sequence is completing the command.

Is there a way to run a command line serial port program to do this from within the telnet session?

TIA
