Yeah, it's possible. You would have to write the software for the calc.
But that's simple, the software would just send and receive all data
from the link port. The harder part is with the Linux box. The linux
machine has to think the calc is part of a network, so you would need to
write or find a serial network driver or a terminal server driver that
either treats your calc like a node on a network, or simply routes all
input and ouput through a COM port.
Hope that helps.
