[plug] Linux replacing terminal server

Just wondering if there's a perversion of getty that would
automatically allow a Linux box to present its serial ports to dumb
terminals as though it were connecting straight through to another
host. i.e. to act like a dedidated terminal server.

getty typically collects a username and then passes that to a login
procedure as an argument... telnet won't accept that...
