   How even was one supposed to do the equivalent of ssh user@somehost -t ls -alh via serial?

   minicom sure doesn't seem to support that kind of use, neither does screen.

   Were you seriously expected to setup PPP just to run rsh over it?

     @amszmidt Would that work on some /dev/ttyS0?

     @lispi314 Was meant for it. Might want to do a call to stty before to setup stuff.

     @lispi314 like, I dunno..

     spawn -open [open "/dev/ttyS0" r+]
     exec stty 9600 -parenb cs8 -cstopb -raw -echo < /dev/ttyS0
     send "ls -l\r"

     Obviously, no error checking or anything fancy going on here.
