Does anyone know of any implementations of TELNET that will simply
intercept BIOS calls to do async I/O on the PC, and redirect them
over the TELNET connection?

Only program I know like that puts the hardware commport into 'loopback'
and then takes the input (which was just output by the PC comm pgm)
and send that over the TELNET connection. (Ingenious!)  Even better
they emulate a Hayes modem, supporting  'ATDT <hostname>' to define
the other end for the TELNET connection.  Unfortunately this package
only supports limited hardware (3C501?) on the TELNET + TCP/IP side,
so I'm looking for other possibilities.

Also, does anyone have KA9Q, CMU, NCSA software available on BITNET?
