Thanks everyone for their suggestions.  Since I didn't have source code
to my rlogin (grrr, Sun, curses to you), I digged out adb and hacked a
bit to bypass the escape character check.

After everything was done, I tried it out and lo and behold, it worked.

Slowly

The connection was (modem) -> ComDesign LAN Terminal server
			     -> ComDesign WAN/LAN gateway
			   -> ComDesign WAN Terminal server
			   -> Sun 3/50 serial port
			   -> rlogin session to Sun 3/280

Now, admittedly, the biggest bottleneck was this brain-dammaged stupidity
of having the sun 3/50 serial ports hung off a terminal server driven
by 1 9600bps link (I happend to be alpha-testing a new TS we're making
so that's why I was running two WAN nodes 5 feet across from each other).

Anyway, throuhput (modem at 1200 baud) was about 25cps.  Sigh.
We'll see how it goes once I put that 3/50 back onto a LAN terminal server.

Thanks.

p.s. don't show this to any of our marketing nazi's, as our networking muxes
     are supposed to be fast (sigh :-) ).
