 Using dial in/out on a port of a smart serial board comes to mind.

 I've got an hdb disk, with a broken (the hex sequence number problem)
hdb on it. That hdb came from the SysV r2 hdb. The hdb from the bbs
(which I run) is a port of the SysVr3 version. It works quite well
but has no uugetty. I have not tried the uugetty from the old version
with the new hdb, but I just put in a DigiBoard COM4i so I might be
bothered to try.

 Let you know how it works as soon as I get the new drivers for my 
terminal board (mine are old outdated ones, from a used board).
