- Now that we have AppleTalk remote access, it would be nice

- A French company has done something like this for A/UX. It let's you
- connect to the A/UX host via the ADSP tool, and the session you end up
- with "feels" just like a telnet/rlogin connection. The software
- consists of a server for the A/UX host, which provides you with the
- ADSP connection point. The login at the A/UX end ends up using a pty
- device, so I suppose there's some TCP/IP going around, although
- internally on the ADSP server host.

- I have no idea if this has been implemented on other AppleTalk-capable
- UNIX platforms.
