Google is your friend.

For that last part, it sounds like the 'VirtualCOM' driver supplied
with the NPort DE-311 (http://wireless.netserial.net/) is pretty
close.

The NPort has drivers for a number of Unix variants.

One of the devices I browsed last night acted as a virtual modem:
connect it up to a serial port, use a few AT-style commands to configure,
and then you were connected to the remote machine. I believe I found
that one in a PDF from alphamicro.net but could not find the product
itself listed on their site.

Good idea but:

1. the device and the computer are in two different rooms, and from
what I've heard Bluetooth has a extremely short range (which is why it
never overcame wi-fi, just like why USB never overcame Ethernet)
2. still doesn't is physically hooking anything into a DB9 port (chose
my wording carefully)
3. a hell of a lot of money :-)

There's different classes of BlueTooth. Class 1 has a range of upto 100m.
Class 2, has a range of only 10m and is used primarily in cellphones and
PDAs. There is even a super-low power Class 3 with only a 10cm range.

I don't get this point? The Bluetooth Serial to Wireless converters look
like they just end a serial port wirelessly.

259.00USD is not bad for a wireless product. You'll be hard pressed to
find anything cheaper as sending serial over wireless is a niche market.

BTW, here's are some other possibilities:

The original poster didn't ask for a channel dedicated for his own use:
he qualified with a "vs" wifi -- that his, he doesn't want the data
transmission shared with wifi. That still leaves lots of other unlicensed
possibilities.
