I'm working on making a telnet to port 23 do this.  Basically, turning ka9q
into a modem or async host (or whatever you want to attach) server.

If I understand it correctly, tip allows the console (not a remote
user) to talk to an asy port.  Is there a way to "log in" to the
console from a remote connection and do all the things that could be
done from the console?
