So I fiddles around a bit with a USB-to-Serial cable, VirtualBox and a Debian install and.. it works!
The COM port is forwarded to the VirtualBox VM in the VM settings, and all that needs to be done in the VM is:
/sbin/agetty -h 115200 ttyS0 vt100
(replace ttyS0 with the appropriate device
)
On the Handheld PC, just start the Terminal program, make a new connection, set dialing to manual, baudrate to 115200 and emulation to VT100, and voila, you're in
Only issue I'm having is that sometimes the linefeed is jerky, not sure if that's because agetty is wrongly emulating vt100 or Windows CE is interpreting it wrong.
