I have an external Adtran 3000 Express ISDN terminal adapter (call it a modem if you like) connected to /dev/cuaa1. This "modem" has several status and configuration screens that I can get in and tweak using minicom when I am on that physical machine. These screens require VT100 emulation to work properly. Now I have been able to ssh to this box, then run minicom to get to these screens successfully. What I want to do is either telnet or ssh to a special port (I know how to config this part) and immediately upon login, be directly and transparently connected to this external serial device so I can manually run the AT commands to access the status/config screens it offers. By "immediately" I mean after I hit enter on the password my next keystrokes go to the "modem" By "directly and transparently" I mean no minicom-like status bar/menus, just VT100 emulation, which is what those status/config screens require. Thanks again.
