Although its not quite the same, you can do this with an emulator +
DriveWire, and you don't even need the serial server thingy.  Up to 14
concurrent telnet sessions to an OS9 system (if you can start that many
shells).   I think the nightly NitrOS9 disks have everything set up and
ready to go, just start inetd and telnet to port 6809 of your machine.

I keep meaning to add serial pass through so you can just use the regular
serial port for serial stuff, just haven't gotten around to it.  In the
specific case you mention though, that would actually work worse than what
we do have.
