Correct, maybe a light UDP bridge.

Andrea, I would investigate on serial devices:
You are probably using IBM comm-api for linux. That libraries, like SUN
version, are very old and they were never upgraded (such a shame).
Try to run (if possible) only the application layer that uses the serial
ports without the web server and see if you are still experiencing the
freezing.
Good luck, you owe me a beer ;-)
