What advantages would there be in that?  Telecomm isn't exactly the
most processor-intensive computing task in the world.  When you're
dealing exclusively with 8-bit data (or even 7-bit), what's the point
in making a GS-specific telecomm program?  The only use I could see
for that would be color ANSI graphics (don't try it in DHR :-| ).
