   So, is there a TCP/IP package out there that "connects" a telnet
   connection from the PC to a com: port, in such a way that the PC
   user can run procomm or kermit or some such package, but instead of
   dealing with a serial port, be fooled into running over a telnet
   connection?

FTP Software's PC/TCP product contains a TELNET client that does what
you require, using the INT14 hooks. If you have a terminal emulator
that understands INT14 (I've tested Crosstalk Mark 4, and several
MS-KERMITs), you can TELNET to a host, have the terminal emulator
fire up, and do anything you could do over a 9600 baud modem
connection.

I've found this to be an extremely useful piece of functionality. If
you want more info, just ask 'info@ftp.com'...

[I don't work for FTP, but I'm a very satisfied customer]
