I think you need to supply some more detail. The above looks like small snippet 
from a much larger document. It sounds to me like that is from a summary of 
some protocol which is slightly different over TCP from over a serial line.

When you say "the communication is only possible between them is to send custom 
TCP/IP messages", what kind of communication to you have in mind? Normally a 
VNC service on your redhat box is simply a way of presenting a virtual display 
for remote interaction. It would be unusual for that to be your only choice 
unless you have a specific task in mind.

Sometimes the only solution is to find a new problem.
