On the Mac, there is this nifty, networked modem tool called
NetSerial.  No longer do you need to have a modem connected to your
machine, there can be one connected to a machine that you can access
via the network.

I want something like this for Unix.  I know, I could log on to the
machine that has the modem connected, but wouldn't it be great to have
a device, say, "/dev/modem" that connected to the group's Telebit that
is now a shared resource?

Inquiring minds want to know.
