This is something that I believe would be reasonably useful. You may (or may not) run into problems with telnet and escaping characters. I believe that a recent Berkeley telnet/telnetd combo can be made to give an 8-bit-clean connection. I've personally been using rlogin, but only for UUCP - not SLIP. ...
