You may need to write the program yourself. It's probably not very
complicated, but you have to be accustomed to writing programs.
I'd write it in C, forking an ssh (or whatever is needed to connect
to your server), leaving its standard input untouched, and piping
its standard output to your program. Your program would send
the data it receives to its own standard output, except between
pairs of "magical escape sequences", where it would send the data
either to the COM port, or to whatever program that may be needed.
Best,
