Wanted: New Aux: device or info on how to make one.

Hi.  If anyone could help me locate or would be willing to program
an aux: type device for reasonable $$ with the following features I would
be really happy:

The ability to 'not listen' to the serial port, and prevent any output from
the cli running through aux: to go through the CLI port.

The ability to inteligently change baud.
It would be nice if it didn't crash the machine when funny stuff happens
(the 1.3 aux: usualy crashes when someone picks up the phone on the other
end of the line).   Also, when I do a newcli aux: with the comm parameters
set for 2400 8N1, and someone calls, the modem answers, but the aux: device
usualy freezes, and won't give access to the cli.

Also, it would be great if it supported an Arexx port where I could command it to do certain things.  It should be able to filter a few nasty characters (^C
and ^D), as well as not hang when I do an echo >aux: "junk" (which sometimes
crashes the 1.3 aux: device).  It would be beneficial, as well if this aux:
device could also feature a 'tap' mode, where an external process of my own
device could view the session as if it were running localy (through a console
window). 

That's an outline of what I need.  I'd be willing to hire someone to code it (preferably in C), but assembler would be OK).  There are a few other things that would have to be in it, but it shouldn't be too tough (the current aux: device
is only 2k).  If someone could supply code to the existing Aux: device, I
might be able to accomplish my goals my self.

Anything you can do would be great.  If you're interested in programming such
a beast for me, you can contact me at:
