Unix sockets can't work across a serial link.
You would need to run PPP over the serial link between the two
machines, then make TCP connections using that network. It'd be
*much* faster and less hassle to simply put a second NIC in each
machine, connect them with a crossover cable, and run your PG
connections over that network. You could also enforce use of the
private network (in both cases) by use of firewall rules.
