That sounds pretty cool so I thought I'd try an answer at this. What if you run telnet or ssh on whichever port you choose (I forget how to do this... /etc/services says these ports are generally 23 and 22) and login as a specific user you've created as root (say, modemout) - all you have to have done ahead of time is put the necessary connection "calls" in your ~modemout/.login file. > How does one do this?
