BTW, unless you really fancy writing your own, the "telnet to the
coco serial port" part seems to be readily available now that you
are using a PTY:

	http://ser2net.sourceforge.net/

ser2net is packaged for Fedora (so you don't have to build it).  I have
no idea about other distros, but I imagine that at least Debian has
it too...

P.S.  I'm pretty sure the "Internet modem" part is available out
there too, just haven't put a finger on it...
