Is there a driver around that will convince programs that want to use
the serial port to use an established telnet connection instead?
An example where this would pay is with Mathematica. The Mac
Mathematica can act as a front end for a more potent computational
version of Mathematica. It would be nice to be able to do the
connection over Appletalk/Kinetics bridge rather than with a direct
serial port.

I think this is within the reach of what I am trying to do now. I am writing a telnet driver in order to redirect my serial-based terminal emulator to FastPath. This driver handles read and write calls to communicate with a telnet session and recognizes several special cscodes to assign an IP address and open a telnet connection. The driver can handle only one telnet session at a time but ftp is implemented in it. Currently the terminal emulator is aware that he is talking with the telnet driver but I don't think it's so difficult to make it look same as the serial driver, and then only I have to do is to write a cdev to open a connection and replace the slot in the unit table with the telnet driver. Anyway the driver code is not yet stable enough and I am not sure when I can work on the scheme explained above...
