Reverse Telnet

Andrew,

You can do reverse telnet in Linux. For simplicity, I'd recommend just
ssh'ing into the Linux box and using minicom, cu or your favorite serial
port tool..

But Free & Open software is all about flexibility, so I encourage you to set
it up. Basically, you configure inetd, or xinetd depending on your
distribution, to accept a network connection on some port (say 2001) and
hook it to the serial port with the modem.

Here's some additional help:
