Well, I got no hits, so I will answer some of this stuff myself!

I got the schematics.  Still need some help with modding the 6551 to 
make the lines work properly, if possible.

I did find that I can use the trxlogin with the stock tsmon.  This gives 
me encrypted passwords! and the ability of the user to change his/her 
own password.
this pretty much is all I need. TRXmon adds the ability to auto-baud, 
and kill the process when connection is lost. That would be ideal. The 
way it is now, if someone kills the connection without an ex, the next 
person to connect gets their shell.  not good.

So, If any kind soul out there can help me with the disto mod's it would 
be great.
