the TS8 talks TELNET so will zap into the standard TELNET port, be picked
up by /etc/telnetd (as configured in /etc/inetd.conf for that port), and
be assigned a pty by that server.  so far as i am aware, you cannot coerce
/etc/telnetd into allocating you a predesignated pty.

you could, however, give some consideration to having the connection
initiated from the computer end and have the stuff hanging off the TS8
port treat it as a dumb serial connection...
