I was just looking at the Rtelnet program Annex provides with its
terminal servers. Basically, it a daemon that uses telnet to talk to
the server, and provides a /dev interface using a pty.

Some problems I noticed were:

1) No provision for a BREAK, which makes it hard to use with an
outdialing UUCP.

2) Does not support rotaries, so each computer using it ties up at
least one Annex port.

3) Is very BSD specific, and needs work for Sys V.

Does anyone have an fixes for any of this?
